Infant and toddler 
Changing a baby's diaper and taking him to a bath is one of the things that every parent does to maintain the general health of babies and toddlers. In the meantime, changing the baby's diaper is more important because it should be done in shorter intervals. From the point of view of those who have not yet become parents, changing a baby's diaper is not a pleasant task, but if any parent is asked to talk about the most interesting moments they had with their toddler, changing diapers is one of the things they will mention. In general, even toddlers, who are always the most cooperative with their parents, may object during a diaper change and disrupt what may only take a minute or two. Usually, at these moments, many babies and toddlers scream, clap their hands and slide around making it difficult for parents to change diapers. If all parents are asked what they remember about the first times they changed their baby's diapers, they usually hear this answer: It was hard and uncooperative! On the surface, it may seem that changing diapers is not so complicated and easy, but it should be noted that because it is related to the child's general health and microbial contamination should be removed from the child's genital and intestinal system as much as possible, paying attention to some points and Compliance with a series of criteria seems absolutely necessary.

In response, it should be said that if diapers are changed at a different point every time, we will quickly spread microbial and pathogenic agents in the closed and limited environment of the house. Therefore, it is even recommended to change the baby's diaper in the right corner of the bathroom, that is, where it is close to hot water and sewage. Now the question arises that it is better not to change diapers in which places?! Dr. Robert Frank, a pediatrician from the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in the United States, says: "It is strongly recommended to change diapers in places such as the food service area or places where people change their clothes after entering the house or before leaving it."
