The hand washing poll had me curious about hand washing habits with all the diaper changes we do!

    Unless I actually get something on my hands, a wipe will do the trick... is that gross?  I don't usually have time to set him down without him crying in order to wash my hands.  Besides, I can't just leave him on the changing table to go wash my hands... by the time I pick him up he's already contaminated anyway.

    I get it. For some reason baby pee and poop doesn't seem as gross... And wipes are awesome. I know this doesn't match my compulsive hand washing after I go to the bathroom...

    I've mastered the one handed hand wash in public restrooms. I've also left him on the changing table in my living room. The sides are too high for him to roll over. When he does roll I'll have to stop though. A few times I've had to change him in the car. I use a wipe and I have hand sanitizer in his diaper bag.

    I only do if he poops or I use cream. Well I guess I would if I stuck my hand in the diaper on accident.

    We use cream every time so I use a wipe to get that off, and then I use hand sanitizer afterwards most of the time. We have hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE.

    I use purel type stuff if I'm in a hurry and there isn't any poop on my hands - but usually i'll just use a wipe.

    I use a wipe for the ointment, sanitizer, then put her in the crib or hand her off to DH while I wash my hands.

    If something's on my hands, I wash them with soap and water.  Otherwise, I use hand sanitizer.  I have a mega-ultra-jumbo size bottle I keep on the changing table and several smaller ones everywhere in the house.
