DLA Question,How long for toileting ?
Well it can only be 5 times a day because DD is only allowed 5 pads,
If it is a wee probably 5 mins
But if it is a poo it could be 10mins, and if it is a poo that has escaped down the trouser leg it depends on,
How much of a fight to get the trousers off.
Whether DD will get in the bath.
" " wants to get out the bath, whilst I'm getting the poo off the floor and de coking the trouser legs (i hate that bit its trying to pull them inside out)
Then we have to get Dd dryed and dressed.
Put trousers in washing machine.
Finished
How lon do you think?

I forgot to mention that while I was sorting the mess out I was cooking tea so the potatoes boiled dry, the meat was overdone ,so no chance of food poisoning.
My hubby came home and said there was an unsual odour in the house . Its all good for a laugh !

Write down the time of the worst possible nappy change, so the time it takes to remove trousers, locate poo down the trousers, clean her up and put trousers and nappy back on. You can use the blank page at the end of the form to explain?

DS1 has a lovely habit of unloading when I'm cooking, too!

I put 5-20 mins, then in the brackets afterwards explained that the longest time is when a bath is needed.

My DSs all 'need help' at dinner time too. Often wondered if it was the smell of the cooking got the gastric juices into overload - or they were just creating extra space! Grin

Think I put down 10 - 20 minutes or something similar; with an explanation that the longer tiome would be if clothing/bedding needed to be changed. If I had to factor in a bath, then it would be even longer!
