Mothers who wish and do not have a contraindication to breastfeed.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Newborns with dysfunction of the stomatognathic system that would interfere with the suction mechanics; using painkillers or other drugs that would interfere with responses to nociception or whose mother was receiving these drugs; in contact precaution, due to the amount of equipment available for collection; needed resuscitation maneuvers in the delivery room; admitted to the neonatal ICU shortly after birth, before being admitted in the rooming-care.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a reduction in pain responses obtained through the time (in seconds) of facial mimicry according to the parameters of the brow bulge, eye squeeze and deepening of nasolabial furrow, observed through face filming, for a total time of 5 minutes after or painful stimulus.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a reduction in heart rate and an increase in oxygen saturation observed through the filming of the monitor, for a total time of 5 minutes after the painful stimulus, called the post-puncture period, compared with the values presented in the baseline period.
