Postoperative pain management in neonates is a critical aspect of care. Effective pain control can improve recovery and reduce the risk of complications. Analgesics such as acetaminophen or opioids may be used, with careful dosing to avoid adverse effects. Non-pharmacological methods, including swaddling, skin-to-skin contact, and breastfeeding, can also provide comfort. Multimodal pain management strategies, combining pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, are often employed to achieve optimal pain control.
