We adopted our FD. She was born exposed to Cocaine. She had a very rough start; withdrawals, surgury for bowel obstruction...The doctors at the hospital said she was a miracle baby. And she truly is. She startled very easily as a newborn. Swaddling was the best thing for her. It comforted her. I also played alot of classical music for her. It was always on in her room. She also had/has a very sensitive gag reflex.is. She is now 2 1/2, knows her alphabet, colors & is very articulate. It is amazing how much love can turn a child around.

Good luck!!
