Analgesic effect of expressed breast milk in procedural pain in neonates

J Schollin. Acta Paediatr. 2004 Apr.

Abstract

Prevention, treatment and assessment of neonatal pain have been of major clinical and scientific interest the last decades. Non-pharmacological interventions such as sweet oral solutions are successful in pain relief. Whether breast milk, with its lactose content of 7%, has any effect on the prevention of pain has been debated.

Conclusion: Randomized studies of breast milk in prevention and treatment of neonatal pain are needed.
