What are the Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Neonatal Pain?

Non-pharmacological methods are often the first line of intervention for managing pain in neonates. These include:
Kangaroo care (skin-to-skin contact)
Swaddling and facilitated tucking
Non-nutritive sucking using a pacifier
Breastfeeding or providing expressed breast milk
Environmental modifications like reducing noise and light
These interventions aim to provide comfort and reduce the neonate's stress and pain.
