Breastfeeding as a Method of Non-Drug Analgesia in Newborns

Abstract

For a long time, it was believed that children are resistant to pain, and the benefits of the treatment is much more important than the emotional reaction of the child. Until the mid-1970s, adequate analgesia in the neonatal period was not performed, based on the belief of the immaturity of peripheral pain receptors, incomplete myelination of conductive nerve fibers.
