How old is the child? I always just held mine in my lap with my arms around them to keep them still. Yeah it sucks but they get over it quickly and it's better than them getting sick.

Depends on the age of the child.The goal of holding the child for the shot is to prevent any injury, while making sure the shot goes in properly.
"During vaccinations, it’s important to keep a firm hold on your child, but be reassuring. You don’t need to pin him or her down, since that could be scary. Try to keep the spot steady where your child is getting the shot (usually the upper leg or arm).
For infants and toddlers, hold your child close on your lap. Have his or her right side lean against you. Control your baby’s arms with your left arm. Keep his or her legs between your legs.
For kindergartners and older children, have your child sit centered on your lap. Or have your child stand right in front of you as you’re sitting. Keep your child’s legs firmly between your own. Use your arms to embrace him or her across the front of the chest.

Do NOT get vaccinated.
A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into your body.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

If you go to the vaccination liberation web page, at
http://www.vaclib.org/exemption.htm
You will find all the forms necessary to provide exemption for your child.

I didn't hold my children down, I let them know that they would be getting shots and that the shots they are getting will keep them from getting very sick or dying, I told them how sad mom would be if they became very sick or died because they did not get their shots. The kids were very calm after I explained what would happen and they didn't even cry

Sure have. Basically your pediatrician should be hiding the needle from the child while you place your body at the child's midsection, holding them down and still (which is the key there) while the doctor quickly gives the shot.

yup as a infant I held his upper body while a nurse held his legs and the other nurse gave the shot in the leg. It was quick.

Sneak up from behind, grab them by the throat and apply firm but gentle pressure. Maintain constant pressure until they lose consciousness the release immediately. Administer injection then provide smelling salts. Works every time.
