1 year blood work
When we went for the 1 yr check up the dr gave us a prescription for blood work to check for anemia, etc.
I plan on going after I finish with BFinf 100%, that way I know he is getting all his nutrition from food not me.
Anyway, how do they do this? Like a needle and draw blood or a finger prick test?

Re: 1 year blood work
the bloodwork should be a full CDC - lead, anemia, etc ...
They draw blood with a butterfly needle. They pricked DS in the vein by the inside of the elbow

For my dc i had to take them to Quest labs and its a needle in the arm. My dd was ok with it, but my ds freaked. Its over quick though.

Re: 1 year blood work
Its a butterfly baby needle like PP said.. i attempted to take my dd last week but the place was closed.. I have anxiety everytime i think about taking her. I wish they did finger pricks.. i remember when i was a kid thats all i had done.

Thanks girls... I was hoping to hear finger prick but I figured that the needle was the case. They are going to need a team of nurses to hold DS down. I can barely change his diaper when he squirms!

Yep. We also had to do a urine collection.

DD is 19 months and I haven't done it either. I am too nervous.
