Stool Samples.

[reAllytee]

Sooooo how the hell do you get a sample when your childs poo is so runny & watery that it soaks into the actual nappy ????? :confused:

Am I going to have to use a plastic bag as a nappy :laughing:

[Chickadee]

When at the dr's, I used one of their wooden tongue depressors to scrape off the (disposable) nappy. If you have any popsicle sticks for craft you could try that.

[Queen]

Try the paddlepop idea or you could put a liner in the nappy first? to stop it soaking in so quick?

Good luck.....

[reAllytee]

Umm no its that watery its like urine so is soaked in by the time he is finished ... Great hey :rolleyes:

I may have to take the scary option of no nappy & trying to 'catch' :eek::barf:

[tickle]

Maybe you could get one of those bags that sticks onto their skin for the urine sample? Would that work?

[Chickadee]

Wring out the nappy? disgusting as that sounds, it might work.

Hrrrm that may be the go :detective:

Will ask the chemist tonite !

[reAllytee]

Oh Martha ....

Did you just say .... Wring .... Out .... Nappy ....

Seriously the joys of motherhood :barf:

[Chickadee]

Isn't motherhood grand? I still remember the first time DD powerpuked her formula and I automatically stuck out my hands to catch it! A double handful of vomit. How lovely. :rolleyes:

Oh i am sorry but that just made me scream with laughter !!!! :laughing::laughing:

Gotta laugh or otherwise you will cry sorta moment !


Aaaah reminds me of a few weeks back when we trialled solids on Squeak ... Mummy covered in vomit from waist down with sopping wet baby on lap all while sitting in a puddle on the bed with it all through her crocs & a puddle on the floor too.

He would have put the movie Exorcist to shame ... Was one of those moments where i was like " oh sh!t " yet couldnt do anything luckily DP heard the odd noise & asked whether all was ok which managed to snap me back to reality to yell for towels.

I have to say i am seriously over being covered in the childs bodily fluids !

[Chickadee]

Your DP did better than mine. First time DH saw DD projectile vomit all he could do was stare with his mouth gaping open. Meanwhile I managed to catch most of the vomit in my lap & have my knees clamped shut to protect the couch we're sitting on. Yelling at him to get a **** towel snapped him out of it, but what does he bring? One tiny tea towel :banghead:

Good luck with the poo sample (I don't envy you) & I hope he's back to normal soon.

[Nowhere]

all i can sugest is a urine colection bag stuck to the bum thats how we do it

Oh arent they intelligent creatures !!!!

Thanks !


Amy - Yeah will harass the chemist when im there later today !

Aaah what would i do without Bubhub !

[kiwibird27]

We had to put a disposable nappy on Megan inside out, so the plastic is on the inside, then put one on over the top like normal to try and catch any leaks.then collect with a tongue depressor, It took 12 hours to get enough cause it was totally like water!!!

GOOD LUCK

[Lastcenturymum]

Oh the joys of it! All we can hope is they have kids of their own...PAYBACK!!!:D

Speaking of vomit (who else would listen but on here) We were driving along in the country one day and DD2, about 4 at the time, quietly says 'what should I do with this?' turn around and she had been sick into her cupped hands and didn't spill a drop!!:laughing::laughing:

We had friends follow us and they pulled over and wondered why we were out of the car laughing hysterically on the side of the road!!!

My favourite "mother's do WHAT" story was when my friend didn't have a booger-sucker and she had to suck the boogers out of her daughter herself because she couldn't breathe.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Oh that just made me gag :barf:

LCM - Now see that kid is awesome !!!! Why cant they all learn this ;)



Well ive given up trying to get a sample ... I think what doesnt help is that we use cloth so its absorbed super quick. I had the local Pharmacy look at me like i was mad when asking about the urine baggy thing ... Morons !

Tomorrow i am taking tonites 3 nappys & the hospital can gander at those & deal with it then !!!!!

[tyler's mum]

I took tyler's nappies with me to the hosp. They were just so runny it was easier i let them do it

[SorenLorensen]

as gross as it sounds how about just a pul cover ?

[reAllytee]

[defa]

At work when there poo is that runny we go for the good old glad wrap just put some in the nappy and you just put the plastic in the jar and they do the rest you don't need to much poo in the jar 2 mls of it is normaly enough..
