​

We recommend you buy a topical anesthetics to reduce the pain from needles . EMLA (lidocaine-prilocaine) is available without a prescription from your pharmacy. It will dull the pain where the needle enters, it is safe for babies and even newborns. Please follow the directions carefully and apply 60 minutes BEFORE the needle.  For babies under 1 year of age, apply to the upper outer part of the leg, for children over 1 apply to the upper arm. If your baby/child  is getting more than one needle , apply to both legs or both arms.
