Blood work for toddlers
Did anyone NOT take their children for blood work. My doctor has not mentioned anything and I forgot to ask yesterday.

Re: Blood work for toddlers
We go for our one year visit in a few weeks and I'm dreading him handing me that slip.

Re: Blood work for toddlers
DS had blood work done at his 1 year old visit when he was 1 and last month when he went for his 2 year old visit they did blood work again.

Re: Blood work for toddlers
DD had it around 14 months or so (was given the script at 13 mos for her one year checkup). They didn't give you a script at her one year visit? I thought lead testing was mandatory at that age. I would call the doctor's office, maybe it was just an oversight.

Re: Blood work for toddlers
Other that the testing for other issue, we did at DS' 12 month visit.
Did you do that one?

Re: Blood work for toddlers
DS got a script for bloodwork at his 12 month visit. I am actually taking him tomorrow to have it done.
They will do a basic screening and also test for lead levels. We definitely have to do it because our house was built in 1934 and we need to know if Lucas has high levels of lead.
I can let you know how easy or difficult the drawing of the blood was after tomorrow!

Re: Blood work for toddlers
I would think the pediatric guidelines are the same in NY and in NC.

Re: Blood work for toddlers
Ella got a prescription for blood work at her 1 year check up. She is now 17 months old and I still haven't taken her for it. I am hoping my husband will take her this week.

Re: Blood work for toddlers
Nope. I never had to have it done. But they took random testing for Andrew when they thought he had anemia so maybe that is why.

Re: Blood work for toddlers
We asked but my ped doesn't do it I think he told us until 2 which I thought was REALLY late - I wasn't too happy about it - but what could I do - I thought blood work was standard for 1 year check up.
