What makes this useful
A plain description of shape is easier to revisit than a vague memory that something was different.
Label the holiday period without recording a child’s school or detailed schedule. A consistent label such as “school holiday” helps connect the day you remember with the visit you saved.
A practical way to begin
- Choose the closest of the seven illustrated options. Exact visual matching is not required.
- Keep shape separate from comfort and other observations; they answer different questions.
- If several visits during school-holiday weeks looked different, give each visit its own shape choice. A shared “school holiday” note can group them without flattening the differences.
An example of useful context
“School holiday week, later morning at home.”
Have you kept the holiday dates separate from the return to the usual timetable?
Use your own wording and the details you remember. A short, recognizable note makes it easier to find the visit later.
Where this fits in LooPoo
Using a Bristol stool chart app to record shape explains the full workflow and its limits.
Use Check-in in the iPhone app for this part of your record. The shape selection describes what you recorded and does not diagnose a condition.
LooPoo keeps check-ins and preferences encrypted on your phone. It describes your observations without diagnosing, treating, or predicting a medical outcome.
