maybe have a ncie suprise ready for him and say if your a big brave boy there is a suprise.
some drs will even organise thsi with you so u can drop it off the day before and organise the dr to give it to hime once he has had his injection..
it is similar to teh tooth fairy and rewarding the loss of teeth and transition into a new stage of childhood.
i have seen many mums do this and it has worked for 70-90 % of them

Not sure how that would go Kellz, we tried that with medicine & he didn't care!

I have been wondering about this too Sarah, Eliza has had so many "grown up" NGT and been in hospital a few times but she knows that makes her better. I have brought up the needle conversation and have told her that we will go into town and buy a special present just for her before the injection and that way she can have it straight after the "little sting".
She seems to be happy with that as long as she gets something out of it. I'm sure there will be a few tears still.
