Thank you for sharing your suggestions that any new mother will find helpful.
I raised three children to young adulthood, and not one of them ever came down with any dreadful infection. Simple good hand washing technique with soap and warm water after changing a diaper. Line the diaper pail with a trash bag and empty daily or twice a day. Wipe down any soiled areas with good old soap and water. Launder stuffed toys regularly, as you suggested.
I warn against becoming germaphobic. Babies with healthy immune systems will develop tolerance to germs.
