    Exclamation Is this serious??????? PLEASE HELP!!

    Hello ladies

    I have an awful question to ask. My bubs poo was really smelly and soft so i took her to the doctors last week and he said she was perfectly fine and it was normal.

    I used cloth nappies last week too but was feeling sick so didnt wash them for 4 days, when I went to wash them on sunday I found some sort of worm/ larve at the bottom of the container. There was about 30 of them, they were tiny and not so much on the inside of the nappy as they were on the bottom of the bucket and on the outside of the nappies. They were Ecru coloured, about a cm long, 1mm wide tapering to a tiny thin black tail. I could see eyes on the fatter head end.

    I AM taking bub to the docs as soon as they answer their phone so I can make an appointment but I am desperatly wondering what they are? Whether they are a common worm or some sort of bug that just laid eggs in the bottom of my nappy bucket, which was slightly damp but not wet.

    Please any information would be great. I cant get through to the doctors.

    Why don't you ring your local chemist? If you have pets its a strong possibility that its worms.....but I'm not sure how to identify?
