It can be scary injecting a baby, but remember the more you do it, the easier it should get. The easiest way is with an insulin pen – their paediatric diabetes team will be able to advise you on exactly how to do it. Some pens give half units of insulin, which can be helpful when injecting a baby-sized dose. Some babies will be started on a pump first.
If it’s impossible to hold your baby still, hold them securely over your knee and inject into their bottom. Remember though, it’s important that you rotate injection sites even if you find injecting into one place is easier than another.
