| 00:00 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on personal hygiene needed for handling baby food. |
| 00:08 | In this tutorial we will learn about: |
| 00:11 | Personal hygiene |
| 00:13 | Guidelines to maintain it while preparing and feeding baby food. |
| 00:19 | Let’s understand why personal hygiene is important for handling baby food. |
| 00:25 | Here, baby food means nutritious home-cooked complementary food. |
| 00:33 | Such food must be fed to a 6 to 24 months old baby along with breastfeeding. |
| 00:41 | At this age, the immune system of babies is not as developed as that of adults. |
| 00:50 | They are vulnerable to catching infections and |
| 00:53 | foodborne illnesses easily. |
| 00:57 | If cleanliness is not observed |
| 01:00 | then complementary food may harm the baby. |
| 01:04 | It may introduce infections |
| 01:07 | which can cause diarrhoea, |
| 01:09 | vomiting,
cold and cough. |
| 01:13 | Therefore, baby food must be hygienically prepared, |
| 01:18 | cooked,
stored and |
| 01:20 | fed. |
| 01:22 | Let’s learn how to maintain personal hygiene needed for handling baby food. |
| 01:29 | Baby food preparation, |
| 01:31 | serving
and storage areas should be always kept clean. |
| 01:38 | Never cough,
sneeze, |
| 01:40 | smoke,
chew gum, |
| 01:42 | spit
or eat in these areas. |
| 01:46 | Also, do not change a baby’s nappy in these areas. |
| 01:53 | Always wear clean clothing. |
| 01:56 | Tie back and cover long hair properly. |
| 02:00 | Keep fingernails short so they are easy to clean. |
| 02:05 | Don’t wear nail polish because it can chip into the food. |
| 02:11 | Avoid wearing jewelry, especially on the hands and fingers. |
| 02:17 | Keep clothes and personal items away from where food is prepared or stored. |
| 02:25 | Do not let food and utensils touch any cuts or wounds on the body. |
| 02:32 | Completely cover all cuts and wounds with an unused clean cloth or bandages. |
| 02:41 | Do not let the cloth or bandages get wet. |
| 02:46 | Change the cover on the wounds regularly, especially before touching the food. |
| 02:53 | Do not touch the food if feeling unwell. |
| 02:57 | Never cough or sneeze over baby food. |
| 03:02 | Washing hands is the easiest, most effective way to stop the spread of disease. |
| 03:10 | It reduces the chance of contaminating food with bacteria. |
| 03:15 | To wash hands properly, use soap |
| 03:18 | and warm water. |
| 03:22 | Rub hands to lather soap on the back of hands, |
| 03:26 | under nails
and between fingers. |
| 03:30 | Do this for at least 10 to 15 seconds. |
| 03:36 | Dry hands immediately after washing them. |
| 03:40 | Always dry them with an unused clean cloth. |
| 03:45 | It is important to make sure that the hands are completely dry. |
| 03:51 | Never use a regular towel, |
| 03:54 | kitchen napkin or |
| 03:56 | your clothes to dry hands. |
| 03:59 | Teach children to wash their hands. |
| 04:03 | Take them to the bathroom or the place to wash hands. |
| 04:08 | Sing a short song of about 10 to 15 seconds while they wash their hands. |
| 04:15 | It will encourage children to rub and lather hands for at least 10 to 15 seconds. |
| 04:23 | Set a good example. |
| 04:25 | Wash hands together. |
| 04:28 | While washing hands with children, tell them why it is important. |
| 04:34 | Along with the technique, washing hands at the right time is also important. |
| 04:40 | Wash and dry hands thoroughly before touching, |
| 04:45 | preparing
or feeding baby food. |
| 04:49 | Wash and dry them again frequently during food preparation. |
| 04:55 | Sometimes, you may take a break while preparing or feeding baby food. |
| 05:01 | Always wash hands after such breaks |
| 05:04 | and then continue. |
| 05:06 | After preparing food, wash them again. |
| 05:10 | Hand-washing is also necessary after handling |
| 05:14 | raw food
and garbage. |
| 05:17 | It must be done after going to the toilet, |
| 05:20 | blowing your nose |
| 05:22 | and smoking. |
| 05:24 | After touching animals, |
| 05:26 | a sick child or a sick person, |
| 05:29 | wash hands again. |
| 05:32 | Also, wash them after touching ears, |
| 05:36 | nose,
mouth |
| 05:38 | or other parts of the body. |
| 05:41 | Always wash hands after checking or changing a baby’s nappy. |
| 05:47 | These personal hygiene guidelines must be followed while handling baby food. |
| 05:53 | Additionally, there are other equally important baby food safety guidelines. |
| 06:00 | They must be followed during preparation, |
| 06:03 | feeding
and storage of baby food. |
| 06:07 | They are discussed in detail in another tutorial of the same series. |
| 06:13 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
