@anna.the.nurse: Collecting it while the baby is feeding is also amazing while using these techniques. #newborn #newbornbaby #newbornbabies #nicubaby #nicu #fyp #newbornscreening #phlebotomy #hospitalbirth #postpartum #newmom #newbornscreeningtesting
I wish I had you. My baby was severely jaundice and she was poked at least 8 times the first week of her life between the hospital and the outpatient.

I have my parents feed during heel pokes & vaccines and they’re always so shocked when their babe seems unphased by all the pokes! My fav trick!

I’m a NICU nurse and another great tip is once you poke their foot don’t squeeze for a few seconds and they won’t cry either 😌

this was the most traumatic thing for me when my son was born. he was screaming the whole time, so I was crying cause my baby was in pain and I couldn't do anything. opting for the next one to be done out of the room.

I wish you had been the one to take care of my baby. The tiny one had so many heel pricks in her first few weeks of life and we always left with her foot covered in blood and her crying hysterically. 🥺 As a first time momma, I felt like I failed her each time.
