I think we also can exchang with the same phenotype as the infant's blood. Because through the process part of the antibody and the cells which is coated will antibody will be drawn out, so the hemolysis will lighten even infuse the blood express the antigen. And I agree with the method you have mentioned. If the antibody titer is high I will do as you do ,if the antibody titer is not hight ,I will do like this.
