Many of them spend weeks or months in the hospital

And then what?

"Sometimes the moms feel stigmatized," Cavanaugh said. "They feel the nurses are judging them."

These wretched women should be happy to feel judged. It means they still have a conscience

Poor little ones. Maybe one day I will foster babies. I’m done having my own.

I did know a few parents who adopted through foster, babies born addicted. The kids often had ADHD and learning differences. Makes life so much harder.

I agree, fix all drug addicts. BEFORE the babies show up. Semi permanent inserted hormonal birth control.

My wife volunteers to do this at a local hospital. It is difficult some days, but also rewarding.

We did something like modified holding therapy. Lots of contact and eye contact even when the baby/toddler is screaming.

Volunteer Cuddlers will be in top demand in a decade or two, should certain scientific breakthroughs develop. In Sept. 2016 issue of Tomorrows World, there was an article about scientists at the University of Bath who discovered a method for creating offspring without the need for a female egg.
They use skin cells. This is being conducted with mice right now. Ten, twenty years down the line, they may be ready to produce human beings in the same way.

This has been going on for years. I volunteered to hold babies born addicted to crack in the 90’s. One of the best things I ever did in my life.

I worked with a curmudgeonly old man that few folks liked. We were all shocked when a new hire came in and told us her cousin ran this kind of program at the county hospital, and the old man was one of the longest serving volunteers.

Drugs are a victim-less crime and drug users are only hurting themselves...

Nothing is sadder than to work the NICU and see a drug addled new-born die. I watch as the wife and a team of nurses just lose it when nothing else ever seemed to.

But but but....victimless crimes! Legalize all drugs!

Anyone who has ever held a drug addicted, spastic infant, or observed the classroom learning and behavioral difficulties of these children, would never say that.

A big part of the solution is to BUILD THAT WALL and increase penalties for distribution.

What a lot of people who are pushing marijuana legalization don’t realize, is that the competing retailers are lacing the marijuana with all sorts of other vile substances to increase potency, thus, sales. So you’re not just getting weed, you’re getting weed dosed with paregoric, crack, ammonia, or who knows what else.
We will soon begin seeing the effects in helpless babies of pothead mothers.

My mother worked in the NICU at a Baltimore City hospital for 20+ years. The stories she has of the drug-addled teenage (and older) mothers and their “men” would curl your hair. I don’t know how she survived the stress. Faith, I guess.
