Bottle Prep (Bottle Preparation)

Purpose: Safely prepare and handle infant formula/breastmilk bottles to prevent contamination and ensure correct feeding.

Typical steps:

1. Wash hands thoroughly before handling any bottles.

2. Check labels — every bottle must be clearly labeled with the child's name, date, and contents (formula/breastmilk).

3. Store correctly — bottles kept refrigerated until needed; never left at room temperature.

4. Warm safely — use a bottle warmer or warm water bath; never microwave (creates hot spots that can burn the baby).

5. Test temperature — a few drops on the inside of the wrist before feeding.

6. Follow the "use by" rule — discard any prepared bottle not used within a set window (usually 1 hour after warming, or as per centre policy).

7. One-to-one matching — always double-check the bottle matches the correct child (critical safety step, since mix-ups are a serious risk).

8. Record feeding — note time, amount consumed, and any issues on the child's daily record for parents.

9. Clean up — wash and sanitize equipment after use, following the centre's cleaning procedure.

Nappy Change

Purpose: Hygienic, safe, and respectful nappy changing to prevent cross-contamination and support the child's comfort.

Typical steps:

1. Prepare station — lay fresh paper on the change mat, gather nappy, wipes, gloves, and clean clothes before starting.

2. Wash hands and glove up.

3. Lay the child down safely, remove soiled nappy, and dispose of it in a lidded, lined bin.

4. Clean the child (front to back, especially for girls) using wipes; dispose of wipes in the bin.

5. Apply cream if required (per parent's instructions).

6. Put on a fresh nappy and clothes.

7. Remove gloves carefully (inside-out technique to avoid touching the soiled outer surface) and dispose of them.

8. Wash the child's hands.

9. Dispose of the paper liner, then wipe down and sanitize the change mat with disinfectant.

10. Wash your own hands thoroughly — this is a mandatory final step.

11. Record the change (time, consistency/notes if relevant) for parent communication.
