Holding Babies Makes getting shots easier

Infants getting shots at the doctor's office cry less when they are held by their parents a study found. The extra step eased parents' minds and took only about five seconds more than the old-fashioned way of immunizing infants -- while they lie on an examining table, without any pain relief.
