Thanks for your reply. I think Jesse's major problemwhen getting his bloods done is being held down(he's 15 months old). THere's usually 3 of us plus the neddle lady and he's screaming before the needle even get's close which of course makes it harder to get a vein. It's such a destressing time for everyone involved and i dread it when it arrives. The cream sounds good especially when they get a bit bigger and you can explain what's going on. I'll have to add it to my list to take to the doctor and hope I can get it over here(Australia.) Thankyou Lisa D
