ScienceDaily (May 28, 2009) — As long as there have been babies, adults have crooned lullabies to soothe them. But research suggests music might also help premature infants learn to suckle better and reduce their pain.
If confirmed, this would be a simple, low-cost way to help these tiny babies feed on their own faster and move them out of neonatal units sooner, says Dr. Manoj Kumar, an assistant clinical professor in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry's Department of Pediatrics. "If you can get them to feed earlier then you can save health-care resources," Kumar says.
Music also appears to reduce infants' pain during circumcision and some medical procedures, he says.
I think it's barbaric to circumcise babies w/o anesthesia. Would they do this do an adult man?
