Methadone???

Our DD was born dependent on methadone, cocaine, and a host of other goodies. She spent 17 days in the hospital, they used morphine to ease her out of the withdrawals. Our girl was easy as pie to soothe. She would get worked up into wuite a fit, but we could easily get her to calm down. Loved to be swaddled, but hated anything that vibrated, the swing, and her carseat. Best thing besides the swaddling? Happiest Baby on the Block. Check out the Youtube video...it is simply amazing, and saved my sanity during the dreaded late afternoon-early evening hours. :) Each baby is different, like EZ said. We were prepared for the worst (I'm trained as an addictions counselor), but were pleasantly surprised. No reflux, no colic. I'd take a drug affected newborn any day of the week. :) Best wishes on your decision and journey!
