Peggy, this discussion has raised another question. Did you compare -- or as
far as you know does anyone have any data that could be used for comparison
-- between babies who got that sucrose suck 20 minutes before some procedure,
on the one hand, and babies who were held and nursed, as Diane points out,
before?
I guess lots of people who do circs won't agree to a full tummy before they
start, and so for those poor babies the sucrose before could go along with a
quick trip to breast right after. But certainly for heel sticks, etc, if
nurse-and-hold works as well -- and it does seem intuitive that it would work
*at least* as well, though data would be nice -- then sucrose pacifiers would
be de trop, at least for bf babies.
Any thoughts?
