You and your baby feel pain in the same way, according to a new Oxford University study.

The study found that 18 of the 20 pain regions in the brain that go off when adults feel pain also go off when babies feel pain, meaning adults and babies experience hurt in much of the same way. Babies, though, have a lesser threshold for pain than adults, the study said.

This is particularly important when it comes to pain: Obviously babies cant tell us about their experience of pain and it is difficult to infer pain from visual observations, Dr. Rebeccah Slater of Oxford University said in a press release. In fact, some people have argued that babies' brains are not developed enough for them to really 'feel' pain, any reaction being just a reflex our study provides the first really strong evidence that this is not the case.
