DD's had a few, and they will go from the arm like an adult, as they get older it is a lot easier, at 3 months they couldn't get blood out of DD's arms and had to do a heel ***** after I begged and pleaded them to do it from her heel (she was all skin and bones), but apparently once they leave hospital the normal clinics don't do heal *****s, eventually she had to because after 3 tries ont he arms and a lot of tears she had no choice - mind you it worked instantly .
But she has had a few more since, all from the arms, iwth me holding her and all her limbs, to stop her grabbing or pulling away and what I would recommened if possible is going through a pathology department at the local Childrens Hospital as they take blood from children everyday and we found the were a LOT better than your normal clinic, and definitely give the patch a shot we haven't done it before, but plan to next time, we just made sure we had something nice for DD afterwards, but a lot of the time she's had them she was sick and in hospital already, and not feeling so great, so just a nice big hug was enough
Big warm it can be a haorrible experience, but I sincerely hope it is quick smooth and gentle for Yasin
