Hey Lauren,

I used to use that stuff for our first two boys- ( Iron Supplement)

son-# 1, was a very fussy eater & wanted to drink all day without eating,so the Doctor told us to put him on this.

son-# 2, was a little eater but was alway sick.....so our Doctor also suggested this too,I found it does help,but i can`t remember how long they were on it for.

I know you don`t want the blood test done,but if your Doctor suggested it hun,I would really consider having it done,better to have some idea of what`s going on instead of guesssing,for your own peace of mind Lauren.....better to be safer than sorry...iykwim!

Use the( Emla Cream) hun,it works so well,our little boy didn`t use to cry when he had to have his bloods done every week.Hugs hun,I know it`s not a nice thing to go through,but Ash will be fine,Lauren.

If they are going to do it in the folds of the arms- put the Emla cream on,size of a 10 cent piece,then wrapp the arm up in cling wrap a few times,so the cream doesn`t get absorbed into Ashes, clothes and he can`t play in it,do this for both Arms.

Take care,hope everything goes well,hun.good luck for tomorrow. Hugs Susan.xxxxx.
