Breastfeeding of neonates during venepuncture reduces the response to pain, a study by French clinicians has found.
The study was among 180 healthy newborn infants undergoing venepuncture by Dr Ricardo Carbajal and colleagues at Hפpital d’Enfants Armand Trousseau, Paris, France. During the procedure, infants were either breastfed, held in their mother’s arms without breastfeeding, given 1 ml of sterile water as placebo, or given 1 ml of glucose solution followed by a pacifier.
The most common painful procedures among neonates are heel lance and venepuncture, but clinicians shy away from pharmacological pain relief. As breastfeeding probably constitutes the most potent pleasant stimulation a newborn infant can experience , Dr Carbajal and colleagues hypothesized that breastfeeding could have analgesic properties in neonates.
