Comments

Assumed risk

Corresponding risk

Control

Breastfeeding or supplemental breast milk

Percentage of time crying

(Breastfeeding versus control)

The mean percentage of time crying ranged across control groups from 43% to 65.6%

The mean percentage of time crying in the intervention groups was lower and ranged from
4% to 33%

227

⊕⊕⊕⊝
moderate

Three studies evaluated this outcome, and overall there was a statistically significant reduction in percentage of time crying in the breastfeeding group

Duration of crying (seconds)

(Breastfeeding versus control)

The mean duration of crying ranged across control groups from 5 to 184 seconds

The mean duration of crying in the intervention groups was lower and ranged from 8.8 to 75.8 seconds

539

⊕⊕⊕⊝
moderate

There seems to be a tendency towards a reduction in duration of crying in the breastfeeding group, except when it was compared with formula feeding

Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS)

(Breastfeeding versus control)

The mean NIPS ranged across control groups from 0.3 to 5.6

The mean NIPS in the intervention groups was
lower, with a mean of 0.9

102

⊕⊕⊕⊝
moderate

Only one study evaluated this outcome and there was no statistically significant difference between breastfeeding and sucrose, but there was a decrease in NIPS when compared to no intervention

Neonatal Facial Coding Score (NFCS)

(Breastfeeding versus control)

The mean NFCS ranged across control groups from
0.94 to 7.1

The mean NFCS in the intervention groups was
lower, ranging from 0.62 to 2.9

240

⊕⊕⊕⊝
moderate

Two studies evaluated NFCS.,Breastfeeding reduced NFCS, except when compared with formula feeding (where there was no statistically significant difference)

Percentage of time crying

(Supplemental breast milk versus control)

The mean percentage of time crying ranged across control groups from 76% to 90%

The mean percentage of time crying in the intervention groups was higher, with a mean of 91%

80

⊕⊕⊕
moderate

Only one study evaluated this outcome, and there was no statistically significant difference between supplemental breast milk and control

Duration of crying (seconds)

(Supplemental breast milk versus control)

The mean duration of crying ranged across control groups from
9.13 to 157.05 seconds

The mean duration of crying in the intervention groups was similar to control group, ranging from 22.04 to 151.34 seconds

730

⊕⊕⊕⊝
moderate

Seven studies evaluated this outcome, and there was no statistically significant difference between supplemental breast milk and control

Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS)

(Supplemental breast milk versus control)

The mean NIPS ranged across control groups from
2.6 to 5.1

The mean NIPS in the intervention groups was similar with a mean score of 4.8

120

⊕⊕⊝⊝
moderate

Only one study evaluated this outcome. It did not show any statistically significant difference between supplemental breast milk and control groups, but it was a low quality study

Neonatal Facial Coding Score (NFCS) at 3 minutes

(Supplemental breast milk versus control)

The mean NFCS at 3 minutes ranged across control groups from 2.6 to 3.54

The mean NFCS at 3 minutes in the intervention groups was similar, ranging from 0.6 to 3.08

223

⊕⊕⊕⊝
moderate

No statistically significant difference was shown between supplemental breast milk and control

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: Confidence interval

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.
