Can sharing baby wipes between babies in a church nursery spread disease? what about diaper changing surfaces that may not be cleaned between kids?

Baby wipes: Sharing baby wipes & unclean diaper changing surfaces & no hand washing can of course spread germs & infection among infants & also daycare staff. You need to complain to the person in charge about this problem. Good luck.

Yes both can: Good hygiene is first principal combined with soap and water and washing hands in between patients or babies
