Analgesic effect of breast feeding in term neonates: randomised controlled
trial
Ricardo Carbajal, paediatrician,a Soocramanien Veerapen, general
practitioner,b Sophie Couderc, paediatrician,c Myriam Jugie, paediatrician,a
Yves Ville, professorb
Results: Median pain scores (interquartile range) for breast feeding, held
in mother's arms, placebo, and 30% glucose plus pacifier groups were 1
(0-3), 10 (8.5-10), 10 (7.5-10), and 3 (0-5) with the Douleur Aiguë
Nouveau-né scale and 4.5 (2.25-8), 13 (10.5-15), 12 (9-13), and 4 (1-6) with
the premature infant pain profile scale. Analysis of variance showed
significantly different median pain scores (P<0.0001) among the groups.
There were significant reductions in both scores for the breast feeding and
glucose plus pacifier groups compared with the other two groups (P<0.0001,
two tailed Mann-Whitney U tests between groups). The difference in Douleur
Aiguë Nouveau-né scores between breast feeding and glucose plus pacifier
groups was not significant (P=0.16).
Conclusions: Breast feeding effectively reduces response to pain during
minor invasive procedure in term neonates.

Randomised trial of analgesic effects of sucrose, glucose, and pacifiers in
term neonates
R Carbajal, paediatrician,a X Chauvet, general practitioner,a S Couderc,
paediatrician,b M Olivier-Martin, paediatriciana
Conclusion: The analgesic effects of concentrated sucrose and glucose and
pacifiers are clinically apparent in newborns, pacifiers being more
effective than sweet solutions. The association of sucrose and pacifier
showed a trend towards lower scores compared with pacifiers alone. These
simple and safe interventions should be widely used for minor procedures in
neonates.
