An age old teething practice was called a "sugar-tit." It is a sugar cube placed in the center of a handkerchief, then the hankie is gathered around the sugar cube sticking out---hence --the "tit". This was oftenthen dipped quickly in brandy or other alcohol. It also worked without the alcohol per my great-aunt, but the alcohol really "put the little bugger out." I have heard of pediatricians using a squirt of glucose jelly in the mouth during injections. Not sure if it's the distraction or the glucose, but some swear by it. Michael E.

They'd given her sucrose which they claim calms babies (children?) and reduces pain. She was calm, but also sick so we weren't sure which was the reason. The MD claimed this is a fairly common thing now. Any of you using this? Thanks!
