Finally!

Josh had his done at 11 months, I found doing them over 2 days was easier. We did the foods one day and the others the next day.

Only thing I had difficulty with was keeping his arms straight afterwards.

My boy has had his done twice now.
First time before he was 1, the only trouble we had was trying to entertain him in the small room while we waited the 15 mins.
The second time he had his skin prick he had bloods taken. As he was 2 they had to take it out like an "adult" so we did the skin prick first and he was fine.....then the bloods.
He didn't like us holding him more than anything, so was fine once they finished.

Did they explain to you what the test involves?

at our allergy doc the tests are on the back...? though we haven't had to have bloods done..

Thanks for all your replies. I feel much better having read them.

I would imagine they will do her on the back as she is pretty little even for 16 months. She is also pretty nosey so hopefully it won't be too much of a struggle.

I haven't been told anything by either the doctor or the clinic when I booked the appointment.
I have to be honest and say that I am actually pretty disappointed as there has been no support so far from anyone we have spoken too.
I am thinking once we have the results I will take Sam to a specialist as I am sick of our doctor taking the whole thing so lightly! He even rolled his eyes at me when he was giving me the forms!
He wasn't the one that had a screaming child clutching her tummy in agony after trying something with dairy!!!!!!
It seems silly as we have health insurance so could be doing this a better way.

Emma, what was the name of the specialist your girls see?

We see Dr Liang too and I agree with Shorty, he is great, he is very academic so you know you're getting the most up to date, accurate info. He's seeing lil miss atm for her reflux.

They also see Jan Sinclair (they're special, they have two paeds ) and she is also great, I find the kids respond to her really well coz she deals with kids all the time so has a great manner with them. The advantage with her is that she does the skin pricks during your appt so you don't have to have them done separately and she can discuss stuff with you while you wait the 10 min reaction time.
