Um... HOW?!

I've just received my DS's appointment slip for his cardiac scan (I have a heart condition, so they're doing a double check on BabyScout). The slip says I'm to take a urine sample. Um, HOW do I get one? BabyScout is 9 months old (today). Any ideas/suggestions?

(Apologies if this is the wrong section, but I thought since it's a medical test this might be the area....)

ask at your docs, hospital, or chemist for the newcastle urine collection system.

it's a faff, but doable

Thanks ladies!

I remember when he was about a month old we went to the jaundice clinic and he happened to wee when I was undressing him and the nurse had a cup ready. Was wondering how to do it at home.
