[@ladydyxea1]

In the beginning of the video, I see that her legs are not being placed right. that's why she was uncomfortable, you helped her get up, but you didn't noticed her legs. I don't get it.

Where they were joined?

[@tasuura]

Also gloves can be covered with bacteria, new research has shown that there is a higher contamination probability for gloves even bc bearers get more careless

[@Lidianabenzant]

What happened to her stumik

[@clarrissa120]

A-dorablee !

[@kristofersigmarsson]

hi =)

[@mmedefarge]

Especially since they're playing with toys which probably haven't been disinfected. As long as they're not touching the wound, why use gloves? Just keep your hands clean. I always carry hand sanitizer in my pocket for quick clean-up like drool while you're working with someone & can't leave them to go to the sink.
