How do you successfully draw blood from a 7-month-old baby?

29-year-old woman2 years ago

A nurse was unable to draw blood from my 7 month old (in her arms) this morning and the blood draws are super important. He told me it will add 3-4 pounds (weight) to her, but the results are pressing.

Hello, thank you for your question, but unfortunately this is beyond what can be addressed on this platform. I invite you to see the nurse or the pediatrician again.

Sorry I can't be more helpful at this time
