The aim of this study is to compare the impact of two non-medicinal strategies: the breast-feeding and saccharose to measure effects in cerebral cortex during pain using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
Many studies of non-medicinal treatments(saccharose and breast-feeding)show a decrease of expression of pain in newborn. However Slater and al questioned these practices due to the absence of modification of the cerebral answer measured by evoked potential.

Increase of the total concentration of haemoglobin
Increase of the total concentration of haemoglobin (delta HbT) measured by the spectrometer during the intravenous injection.
Time frame: Measure two minutes before painful gesture, at the moment of painful gesture and 2 minutes after painful gesture. The newborn will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 30 to 60 minutes
Dosage of rate salivary cortisol
Salivary cortisol sampling
Time frame: before and after painful gesture
