Took Caitlin to Dr this morning about her excema and mentioned that her nappys have been smelling of germolene on and off for a month or 2. Dr wants to rule out an infection so asked me to collect a sample and leave it in this week.

Caitlin refuses point blank to wee in potty. I thought they would give me cotton swabs to place in her nappy and then wring out - no they've stopped doing that. Instead they have given me what I can only describle as a small pastic bag with sticky bits that I have to stick to her bits and let her run about with until she pee's. As if she will keep it on!! It looks so uncomfy. Here's a pic of one....




Anyone any experience of using this or any tips on how the hell to get her to keep it on?!

Bloody hell that had to be a man who invented that!!!! Hmm I have no advice on that but maybe if you put it inside the nappy it will collect a little bit? Good luck xx

erm? can you put a pair of loose trousers over it (PJ bottoms maybe?) and then just keep her as distracted as possible for as long as possible and hope for the best?

Blimey they really thats going to work well?
Think Debs' idea is good, maybe some loose trousers and sit her infront of the tv so she's distracted, and keep giving her drinks.
good luck!x

I would pop it on, stick a nappy on as normal, pants etc..give her a drink of something she really likes - milkshake/juice etc..stick her in a buggy and go for a walk. Hopefully the walk will be enough to distract her from it

Yeah im thinking a nappy or pants over it, else she is just going to pull it off, or wee loads and then pull it off
Seems a very strange way of doing it! Ha it did make me laugh when i looked at it.
xx

good luck hun ,,,,,,,, strange looking device x

Well she has it on now with a nappy on top. Im not convinced its sealed properly as she was wriggling and kicking when I was trying to stick it to her - I would be too...

She is distracted with peppa pig and a bowl of strawberries but atm doesnt seem fussed that its on her. Im worrying about taking it off now Its like menolin/micro pore sticky pad that is over her whole bits. Caitlins never had a plaster on or off before - think this might hurt! And I cant even take it off in bath as need the pee

Bet the wee minx doesnt even pee. Iv gave her a big cup of her fave juice but she has barely touched it. Caitlin isnt a big drinker at the best of times. This could be a long night

We have a bag of pee!!!

Just need to figure out how to get it off her without spilling or too many tears

have you got an elastic band? lol, sophie had to have one of these on before, and eventually she did do a pee, and it didnt hurt too much to take it off, basically, put an elastic band really tight to catch the wee, then maybe sponge the sticky bits to get the plaster bit off?

Actually wasnt too bad getting it off

Just stood her up with her 2nd bowl of strawberrys (totally the wrong message to give a child who ate NO dinner ) and took it off slowly. Plaster was already a bit damp with pee in bits so was quite easy. Only a slight yelp of protest from Caitlin but no tears. Got the syringe and sucked it all up so all set for Drs again 2moro.

All in all wasnt as bad as I thought!

Oh my, have to laugh a bit at the amount of effort jsut for one bag of wee. Sorry! I'm glad I havent had to do this with Immi, I can imagine it would be a nightmare.

lmao this is so funny but poor caitlin!! lets hope they can find out wats up with her and dont need more pee

What a kerfuffle lol thats my fave word of the day. Hope they find out whats up with her xx

sorry but this made me giggle when leo had to have a pee sample when he was a toddler, i just had to run round after him with a bowl , every time i stuck the bowl under the flow he stopped and ran off lmao! glad you finally got some wee though x

oh crikey hun, what an experience, but least you got it,

remember having to do a pooh sample for rich, do you think that child would pooh for me... kids

Oh god sounds like a ngihtmare gladu managed to get a sample tho xx
