My baby is 4 months old. I had cause to take him to hospital at the weekend (fever, rash, laboured breathing). During our time at hospital he went through waves of being settled but then would randomly start hysterically crying out of no where.
The staff were great and ran lots of tests, one of them being a blood test. My poor baby had to be held down by one of the nurses on the bed while the doctor drew blood from his arm. Meanwhile I was by his side stroking his chest and singing to him. He was turning bright red he was crying so much. His eyes completely glazed over and he looked in shock.
I’m worried about the impact this will have had on him. I’ve seen videos online about how when baby’s needs aren’t met it affects their attachment. I wasn’t able to comfort him or meet his needs at that time and I’m worried this will have had an impact on him
