Cuddling or nursing before needle pricks may soothe newborns
NCT ID NCT07580677
First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether breastfeeding or kangaroo care (skin-to-skin holding) before a heel prick blood test can reduce pain and increase comfort in healthy newborns. Researchers studied 120 full-term babies born by C-section. They measured pain and comfort using special scales, with an observer who didn't know which babies received the comforting care. The goal was to find simple, drug-free ways to make routine procedures less stressful for infants.
