do you baby or kids cry?

[lovingmotheract]

i found some thing that is the best thing to have.

You can put it on your bubs arm or leg (ask the gp where they will have the shot) one hour or more just be4 they have the shots and they can't feel the jab.

it's called emla it's the best thing i will tell you how bub went with it on as she is having her 12month old shot.

how i found out about the emla cream was when she had to have blood taking they put that cream on b4 and asked what it was it's the best thing to have.

I'm not sure of the specific directions - but I think EMLA is not suitable for babies under a certain age, 6 months I think? Someone with accurate knowledge please correct me if I'm wrong

Good tip Rachel!

well she had them and it was the best thing 3 jabs and she was done. a little tear but that was it thank god 4 the emla cream

[the_queen]

So she cried? I thought it was a total numbing agent...?

[lovingmotheract]

it is but you can still feel the drug going in just not the jab and it was i little cry about 5sec one but buy then it was all over

I heard emla works good when you get piercings done too.
