Rachel said that her hospital gives babies glucose solution immediately
prior to taking blood for PKU's etc. I usually try to do the heel pricks
while the baby is breastfeeding (mother willing) - often they only draw back
their foot when I wipe it with the cold alcohol swab, and hardly seem to
notice the prick.
