Longer breastfeeding, conducted five minutes before and during vaccination, reduces the pain induced by the Pentavalent vaccine. No vaccination risks were identified to outweigh the benefits. These results endorse that health professionals should encourage breastfeeding at least five minutes before and during vaccine injection for an antinociception effect.
