Born Baby Who Is In Withdrawal From Methadone, Which The Mother Was Taking It. Suggestion?
Hi, Thank you for your query. If it has been a week that the baby was born and there is no untoward effect on the baby then there is nothing to worry. It is really surprising why the obstetrician allow the mother to have the drugs at all. They should have been weaned off and long before. I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction. Wishing the newborn all the best. Regards, Rajiv K Khandelwal http://goo.gl/SuCjl
