My baby never had blood drawn. She’d cry and wiggle with vaccines. How does blood draw go for your babies this age? Thanks!

If you’re still breast-feeding, put your baby on your boob! It’s a natural pain reliever, sucking releases hormones that relieve pain

I just weaned a month ago! Ok I guess we have to tough it out and cuddle hold her. Shes so squirmy to begin with 😅

We did not do the blood test.

My 9 week old baby has a rare Metabollic disorder and we have to get his blood drawn every month. Try and call ahead or when you get there, make sure you get a flobotamist that specializes or is experienced with drawing from babies. I would suggest if someone isn’t there with experience to ask when there will be and come back at that time. He has had his blood drawn 4 times now. The first time we got someone who very obviously was not comfortable with babies and it was an absolute nightmare.
