AAP: Newborns, Especially Preemies, Experience Too Much Pain During Routine Procedures

1/25/2016
Pain that newborns experience from routine medical procedures can be significant, especially in premature infants with more intensive health needs. Research suggests that repeated exposure to pain early in life can create changes in brain development and the body's stress response systems that can last into childhood.

Newborns experience 'too much pain' during procedures, pediatrics group says

Das ist so unaussprechlich ...

Anstatt Konsequenzen zu ziehen und die Beschneidung nicht mehr am Säugling vorzunehmen, muss man halt mehr Zucker verabreichen.

Quote from Harvard Health Blog

Another simple way to help is by giving babies sucrose, or sugar. It’s not fully clear how sucrose helps, but it does (glucose, which is similar to sucrose, can work too). It may be that the sweet taste activates natural pain-killing chemicals in the body. It’s best to give it about 2 minutes before the procedure, and the effects last about 4 minutes; for longer procedures such as circumcision, a few doses may be needed. If you talk to and massage the baby along with giving the sucrose, the effects may be even stronger.
