> Coming in the April issue of PEDIATRICS:
> Breastfeeding provides potent relief for the pain associated with standard
> blood collection for newborn screening, according to the study,
> "Breastfeeding is Analgesic in Healthy Newborns." Two groups of infants
> undergoing heel stick and blood collection procedures were observed for
> crying, grimacing, and heart rate changes, which are symptoms used to
measure
> pain in newborns. In the breastfed group, crying was reduced by 91
percent,
> grimacing was reduced by 84 percent, and heart rates were significantly
> lower.

> [For an interview on this study, please contact Larry Gray, MD, at
> 773/834-8925.]

> EDITOR'S NOTE: Two other breastfeeding studies appear in the April issue
of
> Pediatrics. "Infant Acceptance of Breast Milk After Exercise" shows that
> moderate or high-intensity exercise does not adversely affect babies'
> acceptance of breast milk consumed an hour after exercise. "Correlates of
> Lactation in Mothers of Very Low Birth Weight Infants" showed that mothers
> with certain demographic characteristics are more likely to breastfeed
their
> very low birth weight infants longer than a few weeks.

other

If

this,
