if your baby has to get a shot (or any invasive procedure like stitches, etc), try to breastfeed her during it to keep her cortisol, a stress hormone, levels low. if you are not allowed to breastfeed during the procedure, try to nurse right away after. if you are no longer breastfeeding, a good snuggle and letting baby be comforted by your smell will certainly help soothe them.
