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.
