Effective pain management is crucial in this context. Although numerous studies have explored non-pharmacological pain relief methods for preterm infants, no research has simultaneously compared the effects of maternal breast milk odor, facilitated tucking, and nonnutritive sucking. <b><i>Aim:</i></b> This study aims to comparatively investigate the efficacy of nonnutritive sucking, facilitated tucking, and maternal breast milk odor in reducing pain in preterm neonates during heel sticks. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A randomized controlled trial was conducted in a tertiary-level NICU with 144 preterm neonates (gestational age 31-36 weeks) requiring heel sticks. The infants were randomly assigned to four groups: control, nonnutritive sucking, facilitated tucking, and maternal breast milk odor.

Systematic reviews have suggested the role of breastfeeding in the prevention against asthma, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, and childhood leukemia. However, studies on atopic disease suffer from reverse causation, small size, and those assessing food allergy (FA) have often relied on parent-reported outcomes. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are not possible for ethical reasons. In addition, epidemiological studies have not considered that there is a large interindividual variation in human milk (HM) composition and feeding at the breast versus pumped HM potentially impacting the effect of breastfeeding between mothers. While prevention strategies such as early introduction of highly allergenic food are impactful in preventing peanut and egg allergies, implementation of early introduction guidelines has been slow, and many infants are already sensitized by 4-6 months of age. To be more effective, primary prevention strategies must commence much earlier, during breastfeeding. There are studies that imply a definitive effect of breastfeeding on the gut microbiome and regulatory T cells (Tregs) as well as a higher rate of FA in populations with historically low rates of breastfeeding.
