In addition to PIPP, other pain assessment tools can be used to help determine how much pain a baby is experiencing. These include: 1  the Neonatal Facial Coding Scale (NFCS). 2  the Faces, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability Scale (FLACC). 3  the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS).ime and experience can also be contextual factors that influence pain. For example, if a baby has had to endure multiple painful procedures, over time his response to the next painful procedure is often reduced. How well and how much a baby sleeps can also be an indication of pain.
