Years ago, our daughter was introduced to many different strategies to attempt to tolerate shots and needles for medical reasons.
As a parent, there is nothing worse than watching your child experience pain, but at different stages of their growth, there will be times when it is necessary to get a shot, an IV or need a blood draw.
Created by a pediatric emergency room physician and mom, the Buzzy uses vibration and a cold pack to confuse the body’s nerves to help control pain. It is frequently requested by children when the need arises.

While most people automatically think of the benefits for shots (immunizations), IVs, and blood draws, this is also used for: diabetes injections, dental procedures, cosmetic injections, eczema (itching), IVF, scrapes from falls and more!
It’s always a great thing to be educated about options for pain management that is effective and doesn’t require any medications.
I hope you have heard of the Buzzy prior to reading this, but in case you haven’t, I hope maybe you’ll be able to buy one to throw in the diaper bag or your handbag to have on hand when the little one needs it.
