If you had typed the baby's cells with A1 lectin it was probably negative. Some babies will start out A2 and convert to A1 thus giving a mixed field appearance.
I know of several reference labs that will use a microscope to look at negative reactions in tube testing and DAT testing. The facility I am now working at will only do it for DAT testing.
