The gift of breast milk can be an effective means to make medically necessary measures bearable. The a Canadian research team in the evaluation of various studies with a total of 1,000 infants found out.
For their analysis, the researchers used data from eleven different Studien. Dabei zeigte sich, dass Stillen den Schmerz während einer Blutabnahme deutlich effektiver linderte , als wenn die Babys steriles Wasser bekamen oder wenn gar nichts geschah. Allerdings war hochkonzentriertes Zuckerwasser als Schmerzmittel genauso effektiv wie die Gabe von Muttermilch.
Aufgrund der positiven Wirkung sollte das Stillen daher auch in der Krankenhausroutine als eine Art Beruhigungsmittel eingesetzt werden, empfiehlt der Forscher. Bisher würden bei ärztlichen Untersuchungen nach der Geburt in den meisten Fällen keine speziellen schmerzlindernden Mittel eingesetzt. Wie sich der schmerzlindernde Effekt des Stillens genau erklären lässt, wissen die Forscher allerdings noch nicht. Eine Combination of several factors could be responsible for suspected investigator Prakeshkumar Shah - such as the slightly sweet taste of milk, along with the soothing presence of the mother and the comfortable skin contact.
The analyzed by Shah Although data are almost all on time, was born, healthy babies. Particularly important are the results could, however, be premature. These need during their time in the incubator often painful tests to go through, says Shah. In addition, premature babies are particularly vulnerable to stress: they react with an accumulation of unpleasant experiences - such as needle stick to draw blood - easily with high blood pressure and elevated heart rate. Extremely premature babies are at higher risk for stress and a cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, the studies should be extended to the effect of breast milk in the future on these babies, suggests Shah.
sugar water as a painkiller, according to the authors, however, less recommended, because the high concentration of sugar is probably more unhealthy. Some studies have shown, for example, that babies learn certain movements later, when she frequently got sugar water for pain relief. Breast milk is even slightly sweet, containing only seven percent sugar.
