Since we are handling babies on the floor, we dress in scrubs plus wear a lab jacket or scrub jacket. We go into the nurseries. I have found it practical to do the same in the outpatient clinic - mainly because I got tired of my dress pants getting peed and pooped on!

Subject: Question re: what to wear for in-hospital LCs
Questions have come up lately where I work as a hospital LC re: dress code for LCs as it pertains to the topic of infection control on the mother-baby unit. Currently we wear "business casual" and a white lab jacket/coat.
Anyone have an evidence-based dress code or infection control policy that includes what is worn by staff? Thanks!
