I, too, would love to see the reference for this. If the baby is 0-6 months, we test the mother. But I have not been able to locate the citation that directs this.

I am attempting to locate a source that can define how long after a baby is delivered can (or should) the mother be used for the blood source if the infant was the “source” to which the employee was exposed .
Does this change in cases where micro preemies are involved (under 1 kg). Our current practice is to draw the mother for up to one month, but the practice has been ongoing for so long, I am unable to locate a source and need to update
the policy.
Please and thank you for your response!
