Gather your supplies. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Put disposable gloves on your hands. Clean the bottom of your baby's heel with an alcohol wipe. Remove the cap from the heel stick. Place the heel stick on either outer edge of your baby's heel and push down to puncture. Wipe away the first drop of blood with gauze. Gently squeeze one drop of blood into each circle on the collection sheet. Apply pressure to the punctured area with gauze to stop the bleeding. Correctly dispose of the heel stick.
