Proper handwashing techniques are important to prevent the spread of infection. Soiled diapers should be placed in a sealed plastic bag to prevent the spread of HIV. The diaper changing area should be cleansed with a 1:10 bleach solution after each diaper change to prevent the spread of infection. Providing three feedings per day is not appropriate for a newborn and rectal temperatures are not preferred in this situation as they can cause trauma to the rectal mucosa and increase the risk of infection.
