I usually tell the parents that the size of the poop should be about the size of 
the baby's hand (or handprint) and they should be able to scoop some of it from 
the diaper - this way the smears don't count and if the poop is liquid, than the 
stain is normally large.

Ok,  Let's talk about poop. Where did credit card sized poops come from? 
Any  
strudy? No, it came from my head as I was searching for a descriptor that  
would be recognized globally and was more specific than "a  handful".
