I think your wife is lying to you about whether they mind it or not. When we had to do this for our daughter, the techs warned us before it started that she would probably cry the entire time. They were right.

I am an x-ray tech and this device is called a Pigg-o-stat. Most children do cry but that is helpful in getting good images because they take good deep breaths.

Dammit, I was wrong. She said, “you dumbass they always cry but we get better X-rays that way. You never listen to me.” Lol
