Advice for administering test to 2yo DD

2 replies

Booked a drive-in test for this morning, but details say I have to administer it. She had a test earlier in the year in hospital when she had a bad chest infection (which was negative). She hated it! Any advice for how to administer it successfully? Wondering if I should I take DH too so one can hold her and the other do the test. (She's 2 in a couple of weeks.) Thanks

I've done 23mo ds a couple of times. Strapped into his car seat so he can't move much. Quite a lot of screaming but not much he could do about it - turn his head, wave his arms, shout.

They do also say that you can't get out of the car and need to climb into the back but ime the attendants have just sent us to a quiet corner of the car park and let me get out.

Good luck

I would take husband and one of you sit in the back with your child to do test.
