At one time it was thought that newborns felt no pain. It is now known that pain stimuli pass along the fetal pain pathways as early as the second and third trimester. The nurse who assists with this procedure has a number of options available to reduce the pain response for the neonate. These include a dorsal penile block, EMLA, acetaminophen, and sucrose.
