Brenda,
Are you sure it's the sucrose and not the procedure itself? Could be a nice 
study.

Subject: Sucrose for pain


Hi all,

I am wondering how many of us who work in hospitals are seeing infants who
routinely receive sucrose for painful procedures (ie. met screens, bili 
draws,
etc.) who are extremely reluctant to breastfeed for hours after receiving 
the
sucrose is administered.

I looked in the archives and didn't find anything specifically addressing 
this. I
did see that several subscribers had voiced the concern regarding what
sucrose does to the infant's gut, but no real answer - is there anything to 
be
concerned about?

Thanks so much,
Brenda Phipps, BS, IBCLC
