Hi, I think my toddler has a water infection? How did you get it tested any tips?

My LG has recently had one. I got a special pack from the drs where you put a pad on their nappy and syringe the wee to get it tested at the drs. If potty training you can get it straight from there but my LG wouldn't go on there xx

Use a swim nappy & wring the wee out into a tester pot :) x

we were told at the drs this isn't accurate as swim nappies contain something that absorbs the wee

No, that’s the whole point in the swim nappies, that they don’t contain anything. We learnt that the hard way when I got my little one ready for swimming before we arrived at the pool - wet through car seat 🤣🤣

We thought our daughter did a couple months ago but turned out it was an irritated urethra after testing her wee. I’d been using Johnson’s baby soap in the days before as I’d ran out of her usual bath wash. Doctor said it was much more common to have this than a UTI in a 2 year old. Just another thought if you have happened to change anything in the routine!

oh no haha. I wonder why the drs told us that 🙈🙈. They are always getting stuff wrong tbh!

My lg just had one. We just had her run around nappyless until she weed and caught it as much as possible in a pot. Not mess free but it was OK
