#### **IMPORTANT:**

**Antibiotics**: If you have recently taken antibiotics, wait 4-6 weeks prior to collecting your sample.

**Probiotics**: Stop probiotics for 3-5 days prior to sampling (recommended for babies below 3)

#### **Sampling:**

- **Baby**: If it's a baby in a diaper, it's a simple swab of the stool directly from the diaper. You may refer to [this video](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CfooahJAmhz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) for a great visual.
- **Toddler/Child/Adult:** You can sample directly from a soiled toilet tissue paper. Alternatively, you can add a stool sample collector to your Child or Adult kit at checkout, or purchase one [here](https://tinyhealth.myshopify.com/cart/41360783638575:1?channel=buy_button).

🤏 You only need a very tiny bit of stool swabbed on our dry collection tool. As long as there is a small amount available to the naked eye, we will be able to process your sample.

Check out [this article](https://support.tinyhealth.com/hc/en-us/articles/27470606263323-Do-I-have-enough-sample) on how much stool should be visible on your collection swab.
