Shotblocker application is not a drug application, it is a small apparatus that performs the blocking process on peripheral nerves to reduce the pain with protruding shape. There is no harm in the application. Another application planned in the study is lullaby. In this application, it is aimed to reduce the baby's pain, which is the painful process, by making the mother who is closest to the baby sing a lullaby. It is very important to compare these two methods. Namely; The effectiveness of two natural and artificial applications will be compared. The fact that this study has not been done before will also provide an important data source to the literature. The planned study will be conducted with 30 lullabies, 30 shotblockers, and 30 babies who come to Hocabey Family Health Center to receive their 6th month Hepatitis B dose and their mothers as a control group to help measure the effectiveness of these two groups. In order to reduce the variables in the application, the nurse who performed the application will be kept constant.
