Orally Mediated Sources of Calming in 1- to 3-Day-Old Human Infants.
Smith, Barbara A.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v26 n5 p731-37 Sep 1990
Infants who received 0.2, 0.6, or 1.0 ml of sucrose cried much less than infants who sucked a pacifier for 2, 6, 10, or 14 minutes. Sucrose infused through a pacifier reduced crying more effectively than did water infused through a pacifier. It is argued that these differences support idea of two separate functional calming systems in human newborns. (RH)
