It wasn't until 1987 that the American Academy of Pediatrics explicitly recommended giving babies pain relief during surgical procedures. 1987!(!!!) Why? Parental outrage, initially kicked off by a mother whose infant received *open heart surgery* with no pain management.
Super weird. If we were living in a world without it, musing like "I bet you could create a cultural norm where parents handed their babies over right after birth to have part of their genitals surgically removed for reasons they've never actually looked into" would sound dumb
