VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Reduce the pain of vaccination and babies: Distract your baby.
Controlling your baby's pain during vaccination with distraction. Your baby's activity during vaccination can affect how much pain your baby feels. Distract your baby with singing, talking or sucking. (Baby crying).

You can distract an older baby with toys too, such as bubbles, pop-up books, rattles or smartphones. Distracting your baby can only happen when they are ready to be distracted. Trying to distract when your child is not ready will cause them to become even more distressed. (Baby crying). If your infant isn't ready, just return to cuddling for a little longer. You can try distracting your baby with toys again sometime between 20 seconds and one minute after the needle. The way you distract your baby once may not work the next time. Be prepared to change what you're doing.

This is one of the many ways of reducing your baby's pain during vaccinations. 
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.
