===Post-surgical pain===
[[Circumcision]] is an invasive cutting and [[amputation]]. Like other invasive operations, post-surgical pain persists after the surgery for days or weeks. Infant boys will not receive effective analgesia because their young age makes such drugs dangerous.
Howard et al. (1994) studied male infants after their neonatal circumcision. They recorded the comfort scores of the infants at numerous periods after circumcision. They also observed and recorded feeding behavior.
