When you are a baby, heading in for check-ups and shots is a way of life. Let’s face it; sometimes Doc isn’t the most timely person in the world and we get bored very easily, which may or may not lead to tantrums. (Hey, you’d be crabby, too, if you knew shots were imminent.) Try these tactics at your next visit to keep happy and occupied.

• Tap a tune. Grab a few tongue depressors and start tapping to the beat of your favorite song. Your makeshift drumsticks may even inspire you to create a new song.
• 99 Luftballons. When filled with mama’s hot air, doctors’ rubber gloves make great balloons. Fill a few and start batting them around. Give a few fun high fives. Start a rousing rendition of “This Little Piggy”. The novelty of the balloons will help pass at least a few minutes.
