Blood Test for my 9 m old
Hi,
My 9 1/2 month old has to have a blood test on Fri to check her food allergies. Has anyone experienced this and how was your baby? I have to go on the children's ward and Im worried it wont be very nice. (also read only 50%accurate too).
Any experiences shared appreciated.
Thanks Inka xxx

Weve had the results, which have all come back clear. However, the paed has still recommended we keep them off dairy until theyre 1 and has made another appointment to talk through milk challenges at 13 months.
HTH...and be there with lots of cuddles xxx
so now luckly all is rebooked and i have managed to get more time off work!
Anyway she's having them as she's had suspected milk allergy/intollerance since 4 months. She's on nutramigen and it's great.
Since weaning we have had a few incidents, (including family giving her butter which resulted in endless diahorea and severe nappy rash) and I think they think its time to check her as Ive been told not to give her fish, eggs etc. They are checking milk, fish, eggs, anemia and others I think but Ive read its only 50% accurate so what do they do if it comes back negative not going down the screaming feeds again shes had enough!
She coped well with injections and things to date as i think early months of being in pain have made her tough but if it gets bad I'll just stop it x
Thanks Inka xxx
lizzie is also on the nutramigen milk (with lipil now,lol) and it does smell but you get use to it. do you use soya milk to cook with?
also you can get a dairy free spread called- pure, you can get it from tesco and its next to normal butter. i use a small bit of it to mash potatoe with.
when is your lo having the tests?
