latex gloves?

[Mollymop]

Can we use non-latex gloves? I heard somewhere that it is a good idea because some children may be allergic to the latex.

Does anyone else use these types, or do we have to use latex due to them being sterile?

Thanks for your help again X

I've got lovely green non-latex that hubby 'borrowed' from RAF stores and it says that they are sterile. Plus the NHS use purple non-latex ones so if its good enough for them...

We don't have to use sterile ones for nappy changing do we?

Mine are plastic - I am allergic to latex

You can use non latex.....to be honest I would recommend non latex due to allergies.

As Meggiomoo says you can get others that are also sterile.

No you do not have to use sterile gloves for nappy changing......I use the blue Nitrile ones and get them from ebay.

Whew! I use the plastic ones. I have a pair of sterile ones in my first aid kit for emergencies but otherwise it's the plastic ones.

Hi, i have lovely non latex blue ones which my hubby "borrowed" from his work.
I used to use plastic ones, but didnt like them, & thought it best to get non latex, just incase

i'll play devils advocate if i may

i don't use gloves and don't intend to
i've been changing nappies for more than 27 years and i'm not starting doing any thing differently now

and i don't care what ofsted say about it
i do wash my hands immediately after every nappy change though

But the cleaner wears gloves when cleaning the family silver.
