Do Babies Feel Pain

[Bazile]

Well of course they do .

If a baby has a headache - how does one know ?- you don't even if they are crying

So they just have to put up with the pain - yes ?

[ToraToraTora]

what is the point of this "question"?

[Tilly2]

No, someone will give them some Calpol.

Very interesting Zacs

Mums know their baby and you can tell what's the matter and where the pain is, if there is one. Drawing legs up indicates tummy ache etc. Quite often crying means baby is hungry or needs changing

I could tell my young babies were in pain, most parents know something is wrong even if they don’t know precisely where the pain is.

[brian j john]

Well i didn't feel any pain when i was born

[bhg481]

brian - are you saying you didn't cry? I bet you did and got your bum smacked if you didn't.

[Tilly2]

It's a good job that we cannot remember our birth. Getting your head and body out of that little hole, with someone pushing you, must have been very traumatic.

[Barsel]

Traumatic for the woman giving birth too, Tilly.

[Barsel]

roopower, or needs attention and a cuddle.

[Tilly2]

Yes, indeed Barsel.

young children sometimes startle their parents with their memories of being born
