Abstract
Active parental participation improves neonatal comfort but is often limited by institutional barriers (Feng et al., 2025). NICU infants experience 7–17 painful procedures daily, increasing stress and risk for altered neurodevelopment (Lopes et al., 2024). Non-pharmacologic methods such as skin-to-skin contact, oral sucrose, and breastfeeding effectively reduce pain and promote brain development (Lopes et al., 2024; Sánchez-Infante et al., 2024). Ongoing research highlights their safety and neuroprotective benefits (Chen et al., 2024).
