Methodology : During the study period of one year from July, 2019 to July, 2020, a total of 70 infants were consecutively recruited and divided into two groups. One group received 2ml of EBM and other group 2ml of 25% D is administered which was given 1 minute before Venepuncture. The outcome variables are the duration of cry after Venepuncture & NIPS score for both group. Result : The duration of cry was found to be higher in the group receiving EBM. The neonates in 25%D groups had lower Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) score than EBM group (chi-sqr-10.34 & p-0.0057). Conclusion : In our study we found 25% Dextrose to be a better non-pharmacological Analgesic as compared to EBM during painful procedure in newborn.Expressed Breast Milk (EBM)25%D- 25% DextroseNeonatal Infant Pain Score (NIPS)Journal ArticleIndiaDCH, MD, Professor, Department of Paediatrics, Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, Guwahati 781006MD, Paediatrician, Life Line Hospital and Research Centre, Karimganj, Assam 788710MD, Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Silchar Medical College & Hospital, Silchar 788014 and Corresponding Author
