Summary
This study looked at whether breastfeeding or kangaroo care (skin-to-skin holding) before a heel prick blood test can reduce pain and improve comfort in healthy newborns. 120 babies born by cesarean section were randomly assigned to breastfeeding, kangaroo care, or standard care. Researchers measured pain and comfort using special scales, with an observer who didn't know which group each baby was in.
