Please talk to me about blood tests and babies!

[RGPargy]

DD had a reaction to peanut butter the other week so i took her to my GP and he has told me to take her to the hospital for a blood test.

I'm wondering how on earth they get a 9 month old baby to stay still long enough for them to put a needle into their little vein to get blood! Will she scream merry hell and will it make ME cry because she's distressed??

Reasurrances needed before i take her next week please!!

Thank goodness for that!!

I feel much better now, having spoken to you lot.

they come in different sizes i think

Thought the thread had gone back to penises again!!

lol.

they come in different sizes as well

LOL at the size thing. Yes the butterfly needles come in blue, green and orange. All different widths. Green is the adult size usually unless they need a larger volume of blood. Blue is smaller.

LOL! Errrr can we please drag this thread back out of the gutter? hehehe!

any update RG?
