We don't honor phenotypically matched blood on a newborn unless the baby has a positive antibody screen due to the mother's antibody. The product that is set up for the baby is fresh ( less than 5 days old), O =/O+(depending on the babies type), irradiated (same day), leukoreduced(comes that way from supplier) and hemoglobin S negative.1 point

Emergency Release Blood
