I disagree with the suggestion that because strategies such as swaddling and
holding can stop a baby who is crying and colicky, that the baby must not
have been in pain. There's good research out there to show that skin-to-skin
contact and breastfeeding relieve pain in infants (and they tested this with
real pain - a heel prick, if I remember correctly). If those two things
relieve pain, why can't others?
