Really dumb question...

[tmdj06]

For testing our younger son, the doctor wants to start with a stool sample.
For anyone that hasn't done this, they give you little vials of chemiclas with a built in spoon so that you can scoop the "product" into the vial. Although this is incredibly icky, I can live with that part. My only question is, how do you scoop watery stool out of a diaper? The diaper is soaking it up and there's really nothing that can be done. And if I only had to do this once, it would be fine, but we have three vials and a cup and they have to filled within three days of each other.
Any ideas?

I would assume you would have to stick close him with the vial close by (keep him him diaper only for the bottom half) and be ready to lay him on his back (maybe on the floor on a towel), open up the diaper, and quickly deposit some really fresh ummm, 'product' the moment he starts to go. Then you can cover him back up once you have enough... Hopefully he has some signs of getting ready to go (i.e. getting red in the face, grunting, etc, to help you know when to grab him.)

Terrible Mother Confession Time:

What worked for us was not changing our daughter's diaper all night. In the morning, she'd accumulated enough poop for us to gather some out of her saturated diaper.

Best of luck with the test results! We got back a result that our daughter's pancreatic enzymes were in the normal range, and oh, what a great feeling that was!

Our nutritionist said wrap the diaper in plastic wrap where the poop usually is, so the diaper can't soak it up.
