CAE Testing
Is there a certain age to CAE test? Someone told me to wait until the girls were 6 months but i'd like to know sooner if possible. They are coming 5 months old the middle of this month.

Most blood testing isn't accurate until 6 months old. It is still recommended to retest 6 months later, then yearly.
