Our son Caleb was born Cociane exposed. His BMom used cocaine the first few months. Then checked into a shelter that did random drug tests. All were negative after that. I too did all the research I could find. All that I could find was effects of the drug during the whole pregnancy, nothing with it's use the first few months. I spoke with our Ped several times. He said drug use was better than alcohol use BY FAR! I was alittle assured but not much.

Our son was born negative for any drugs, which we knew he would be, at least hoped. He will be 3 in September. He is AMAZINGLY SMART! He walked early, talked VERY early, his motor skills are normal, everything is above normal or normal. He is extremely intuitive to things, sensitive, caring, cuddly, etc.

I was scared too of him being labeled. But no one would EVER know in 1,000,000 years that he was cocaine exposed!!

Do as much research as you can, the earlier they stop the drug use obviously the better. Because you are doing so much to help your son already, he will be JUST FINE!!
