Brief Summary   This study is a randomized, open label, parallel group, single centre trial, comparing the efficacy of breastfeeding and 25% oral dextrose for pain relief during immunization with pentavalent vaccine in healthy infants. Infants will be randomized by computer generated permuted block randomization into one of two groups: group A- Breastfeeding (40 infants). Group B- 25% dextrose (40 infants) after receiving written informed consent from the mother. Allocation concealment will be acheived using sequentially numbered opaque sealed envelopes. Demographic data of infants will be collected. In the breastfeeding group, infants will be breastfed throughout the intervention, starting two minutes prior to the vaccination. In group B, infants will receive 2ml 25% dextrose solution orally, with the help of a sterile syringe, 2 minutes before the vaccination. A qualified nurse practitioner will prepare the infant and administer the pentavalent vaccine.The outcome variable will be the acute behavioral pain response assessed using the FLACC Scale, immediately, and after 1 and 3 minutes of needle insertion. The assessment will be done by the primary investigator.
