we, the adults can tolerate pain and can handle them. But for newborns, absolutely can't. So here are the ways to ease their pain off. Have a look.

Sucking on a pacifier, bottle, or breast during or immediately after a procedure, such as a vaccination.

Skin-to-skin contact: holding your baby's bare body against your own.

Lidocaine: an over-the-counter numbing cream (such as EMLA) that's rubbed directly on skin. It takes 60 to 90 minutes to "set in" but can prevent pain during shots.

Subcutaneous ring block: Lidocaine injected under the skin before circumcision. Request it, says Verklan.

Acetaminophen after any procedure may help stave off pain -- if the doctor says it's okay.
