Sugar Solution Prevent Baby Crying When Immunisation

Toronto, When immunized, usually a baby will cry because the injections cause pain. According to one study, crying baby can be reduced by giving them sugar solution.

Quoted from the BBC, Thursday (13/05/2010), research conducted by a team from the University of Toronto shows a few drops of sugar solution can reduce the number of babies who cry up to 20 percent during the injection. In addition, the solution can reduce the duration of crying babies up to 10 percent.

This conclusion was based on clinical data from 14 previous studies, which observed 1674 times injections. Sugar solution used has a content of 30 percent, while the age of the baby involved is less than one year. Solution consisting of sucrose and glucose were given only in small quantities, ranging from a few drops to 1 / 2 teaspoon. Giving is done through the mouth, before the baby is injected and afterwards.

Adam Finn, professor of the University of Britol support the research. According to all forms of efforts to reduce the pain during the immunization can be accepted, because babies tend to refuse to injection. "I support if there is further research on this subject. Parents would also be happy if the baby does not cry," said Finn.
