Reduce the pain of vaccinations and babies: A guide for parents.
We probably give 18 to 20 needles, sometimes more, in the first 18 months of life. Vaccinations are a routine part of a baby's medical care and keep babies healthy.  

But the pain of vaccinations can be distressing for babies and parents and these negative experiences leave parents to delay or not vaccinate children. 
Just remember what the statistics would suggest, you know, that about ten percent of people avoid immunizations because of fear of needles.  

Many parents do not speak up about their babies pain because they don't know what they can do about it.  

'She's already worked up before you started. Does she remember?'
In this video, we'll show you ways to reduce pain during your baby's vaccinations. 
They fit into three groups: What you can do child positioning and breastfeeding, What you can give  topical anesthetics and sugar water, and how you can act your state of mind and distracting your baby.
Combining the different methods together will lead to better results.
Look at this baby's response to the needle. You'll notice there are minimal signs of pain. Observe the baby's body movements, facial actions and sounds.  

So let's get started showing you how to use these methods so you can reduce pain in your baby during the next vaccination.
Don't forget to view the rest of the videos in this series.  
Remember, combining the different methods together will lead to even better results.
