For those of you who participated in the Emla sampling offer, this thread is for discussion of how Emla worked for you and your child.

Specifically, what they would like to know is the following:

* What benefits did parents see using emla?
- Emotional benefits (eg parents were happy that they didn?t see their child crying, or child didn?t have a tantrum in Drs surgery, more likely to complete immunisations because it is easier)
- Psychological (eg child wasn?t scared to get their needle ?obviously age appropriate- not an issue for babies)
- Physical (eg needle didn?t hurt or the pain was significantly reduced compared to previous vaccination experiences)

* Would they use it next time? Would they recommend it to friends?

* Was it easy to apply?

* Did emla.com.au have enough information? What else did they need to know?
