>>>>>>>>As an infant I'd "grease the chute" using K-Y Jelly and a
thermometer (could
get the KY around the hard stool close to the anus<<<<<<<<



they are not recommending rectal thermometers any more due to the risk
of anal perforation, they really discourage us from taking the babies
temps this way at work and the standard is under the arm ( axilla)  but
I do remember when we always took the temps this way and recommended
this method to get the babies to go.

Don't fight with dragons, for you are crunchy and good with Ketchup.
