December has arrived! I love Christmas, it has such a wonderful feel to it. Everyone is looking forward to parties, and putting up lights, enjoying food and friends and generally having a wonderful time. However, some of you, like me when I had Charlotte, might be expecting your baby around Christmas and this can hinder your appreciation of everything merry, but looking forward to the birth of a baby at any time is exciting but at Christmas a baby is extra special.

For injections without tears ask your pharmacist about EMLA Cream

Infants and children need a series of immunisations to protect them against serious infectious diseases. But this means having injections, which can be painful.

The good news is that for children aged one or more, you can use EMLA anaesthetic cream to numb their skin before an injection.

EMLA cream is available from your pharmacist without a prescription.
