Yes! You should wash your hands immediately with liquid soap and warm running water. Even with diapers that are only filled with urine, or wet diapers, we need to wash our hands afterwards. Once babies become squirmy toddlers, it’s also a good idea to wash their hands as well after diaper changes.

Best to, especially after poopoo.
