Antiphospholipid syndrome is rare, and mothers of these babies usually have a hard time to conceive. Although this is a possibility, I don't think your baby has this syndrome."Sticky platelet"being a description is vague. Maybe what your baby has is thrombocytosis or in ordinary terms,"many platelets". If you have too much platelets, they'll stick together.Thrombocytosis has many causes. But first, I want you to remember if your baby was crying and squirming while they're getting blood. This is one factor for the increased"sticky"platelets. Otherwise if she isn't sick with cold or flu, that would explain it.It would be safe to have the CBC repeated after 2 weeks. A rare bone marrow disease won't just give you sticky platelets. The other blood components will be affected too.
