I'm the LC in a 40 bed level 3 NICU. I read the CDC position the same way
you do. Can you revise your policy? I do glove when examining a baby's
mouth, or assisting a mother/baby couplet with latch-on. If the gloves
become too cumbersome, I take them off. Fortunately, our policy doesn't
address this issue. Good luck, Mary
