1. Sucrose reacts with the tongue in order to provide comfort, and the sucking is a comfort measure for a neonate.
2. The baby can be swaddled for comfort on the lower legs. Strapping is considered a restraint.
3. Feeding during the procedure places the child at risk for aspiration.
4. Only providing the non-nutritive suck is safe for the neonate.
