It is always pretty quick and I will definitely bring some books and toys or find him a good baby video on my phone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-bring-my-toddler-to-a-bloodwork-appointment#post-2321590 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 12:27:45 +0000 Truth Bombs 2321590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would bring my daughter with me to get blood drawn. But I would bring her stroller so I knew for sure I had somewhere I could strap her in and make sure she was safe and contained for the 5 minutes it takes for them to actually take my blood since I have to sit still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-bring-my-toddler-to-a-bloodwork-appointment#post-2321588 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 12:26:41 +0000 autumnlove 2321588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I brought my 2-3 year olds to a few blood draws. I didn't need an appointment so I always went first thing in the morning so we were in and out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-bring-my-toddler-to-a-bloodwork-appointment#post-2321581 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 12:24:43 +0000 Alivoo01 2321581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've brought DS (who's also 2) with me when I was having bloodwork done, but it didn't take me long though. How long will it take you? Question would be, can he sit there quietly long enough for you to get it done (even if you have to bust out toys and the iPad). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-bring-my-toddler-to-a-bloodwork-appointment#post-2321572 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 12:21:51 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2321572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to get bloodwork done and I have off next Tuesday so I want to schedule it then. My husband will be working. Will I look crazy if I bring my almost 2 year old son? I am never in the lab room more than 5 minutes but I don't know if it is inappropriate to bring him. </p>
