Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Hannah was 4 mos at her first casting and I gave her a lollipop! I also gave her watered down white grape juice. I thought something different that tasted good might help keep her mind off it a little. She still screamed, but certainly quieted down for tastes here and there. The casting is the worst part of the whole experience, but it's quick and painless.
