Blood Test at 9 months?
I found out my ped office takes blood at 9 months and then 2 years...
I know I always see on here that at 12 months most peds take blood.
Anyone else's also take at 9 months?
Is this weird?

Re: Blood Test at 9 months?
we did it at 10 months. I'm not sure if she said they do it at a year again and then every year after or just every year from now on.

Our ped. doesn't do it until 15 months unless there's something in the history that would make him want to test earlier.

I am not exactly sure what they test for. Most drs I have heard start it at 12 months and then yearly at the physicals.
I was just suprised to hear my dr started so early.

DS had blood test at 9 months to check for anemia. They also did an eye exam.

Re: Blood Test at 9 months?
They told me DS will get a blood test at 9 months to check for lead...makes sense I guess. He also has a urine test?! I don't know how they perform that one...
