*Hugs*. I had to hold C down just once, for his flu vaccination when he was 4, and he didn't start freaking out till he was in the room - and that was bad enough. In his case, giving him lots of hugs, agreeing that it was horrible, and reminding him that it had hurt more than it would have done because he'd been struggling, helped - he didn't fuss the next time, although of course I was very nervous!
