"I also agree with another poster that doing painful procedures while
nursing would have the potential to lead to a bad association ie,
breastfeeding  = pain."

It didn't work that way in my small study of 3 infants - my own. I always nursed them during their vaccines and they hardly flinched. The nurses were amazed after being somewhat skeptical when they saw me lifting my blouse. If nursing keeps them from "feeling" pain, then why would they scream?
