Remove leftovers from the eating area. Discard any dropped food. Feed only one baby from each container of food. If food is to be stored, put meal-size portions in separate containers and do not feed directly from the container that is to be stored. If you are interrupted to care for another child while preparing baby food or spoon-feeding an infant, be sure to wash your hands again before you continue your task.
Hand washing is the single most important way to prevent the spread of germs.
Use soap and running warm water. Apply soap to wet hands. Rub your hands vigorously as you wash them. Friction is needed to remove germs. Wash all surfaces, including backs of hands, wrists, between fingers and under fingernails.
