You cannot feel pleasure till you feel pain.

They have time to feel pain during life, there is no reason to start when they are so young, at least they appreciate the doctor instead to fear him.

There are so many diseases these days and I think it is good to have the baby's well-being taken care of. Of course babies do feel pain. If not, then why would they cry? And they get pleasure when their tummy is filled with mummy's milk and they are no more hungry.

I think we need to experience a bit of pain to appreciate pleasure.

They don't feel pain - that is until they do feel it the first time then they remember.

I don't know what I think about this subject as I suffered for years with neck pain and after 4 neck surgeries I suffered tremendously. God stepped in and as I was worshipping Him He touched me with a warmth that went through my body and the pain stopped. I am so grateful to Him. Thank You Jesus for it is by Your stripes I am healed.

Do not worry! The baby will get plenty of opportunities to get pain. He has a long way to go in this world, which cant all be painless! But yes. Parents are indeed getting over-protective these days since a lot of them are single child families

I had never before thought of it in just that way but it does make sense if you don't feel pain how would you know what pleasure is.. Very good post.

No, I do not agree with you. Absorbing excessive pain makes a person sadistic, or wild. There is enough mental stress at all stages of life. A child feels something but cannot express, and as grown ups, we feel something but we are not supposed to express, even if we know the words for expressing. I would rather keep pain to a minimal level. I know that the child learns rapidly till he or she reaches age 5 or so. I would rather the pain not be registered in his or her mind since he or she does not have to face that pain ever in life. Why bother? It is not as if we are administering some narcotic to bring down the pain. Funnily, the child's brain will record the pain, while many other things will be wiped out and re-rolled like the dough used to make "parathas". Why waste his learning abilities on something that will not serve any purpose?

Oh is there a painless vaccination already ? Wow, that's nice . No one likes their baby to feel pain at all . However , as they grow they will pain some natural pains which will help them to be stronger in life . But meanwhile that they are still babies , then it's okay that they don't feel those vaccinations given them .

Parent always want the best for the kids and they try to protect them as well. But I just heard about this kind of vaccination. What about the side effect? I think fever or uncomfortable of pain for injection is just common reaction to baby's body. Parent should not worry too much. It's not pain like it was too hurtful.

I wish there were no such thing as pain for us humans, but there is dpk, and it is part of life.

I agree that a person would not be able to fully experience pleasure if he or she has not experienced pain, for how could they differentiate one from the other? In an average person's lifetime, there are numerous chances of feeling pain and pleasure. However, I don't think that babies should be made to feel pain when they could have injections that are painless. When they grow up, they will have more than their share of pains..maybe much more than they could handle. Hence, if there is a painless way of administering the mandatory health tests and injections that babies need to undergo, then opt for it. Reserve the moment of letting them feel pain from pleasure at later stages in their life. Anyway, as babies they may feel pain but they will not be able to discern the difference between pain and pleasure at such stage..

The vaccinations given to the baby might cause them pain at that particular moment, but I think it's still at a tolerable level. It's not the kind of pain that traumatizes most babies until they grow older, at least to my knowledge. So I don't think it's a problem.

I don't think there is such a thing called painless vaccination, for starters. Some vaccines cause pain, some doesn't, and we all have it. And delving more into the subject, yes physical pain is complementary to pleasure. Without pain, we cannot appreciate what is good for our body. With pain, there comes understanding and patience, and we don't desire for excess pleasure because we know what we are getting is enough and just. Nowadays parents have become protective of their children, sure, but at some point they will be on their own. Maybe a little late, but they will learn for sure that pain and pleasure goes hand in hand. Those people who don't ever perceive that, they are unable to understand unfortunately the gift of life itself.

I disagree. I think the more pain one feels, the more depressed or mental a person can become. I do not think one must feel pain to enjoy pleasure.

If physical pain can be minimised with no side effect and if the vaccine is going to be as effective as it was earlier , I don't think it is a big issue Deepak. Irrespective of these vaccinations and inoculations, the baby is likely to feel some sort of pain or the other now and also as he grows up. CHldren will fall and get themselves bruised. Actually it will start much earlier too; which baby has not knocked his head while crawling?[start to crawl] .Only if the parents get too protective and walk around holding a hand under the baby's head with baby not being allowed to crawl and walk/move it would be a bit fussy and awkward. It would also prevent the baby's natural inclination. This injection is something external. As an adult, imagine your dentist giving you a painless anaesthetic and and a painful anaesthetic --what would you prefer? We would naturally go for the former isn't it? So, preventing pain is not possible in this life and the baby would experience it irrespective of the current vaccination.

painless should be the choice when possible - we cannot get through life without facing pain at some point but that is no reason to inflict it on purpose.

i am not a mother yet. But i really can understand as parent, they usually do not want their children Bear the pain. In my country is more obvious than some western country, althoug their children became a handsome boy or beautiful girl, thier parents will always do lost of things for them. All of this just because they do not want the children have a rough time. It is difficult to points right or wrong,

@dpk262006 Every child feels the pain , thats why the painless vaccination launched .. and have been implemented , suggested by medical officers . Plessure is nothing but feeling good

To feel pleasure we should have already felt pain. Only pain brings great happiness, otherwise happiness is only a small positive feeling.
