Any advice about preemies

I was just wondering if anyone out there had any words of wisdom about preemies and/or drug exposure.

I got called yesterday for Y. She is 3 weeks old, but is a preemie. Test came in positive for meth, and bMom has admitted to also using heroine during the pregnancy.

Y is still in the hospital, but is due to be released in a few days. I got special permission to visit her . The hospital was the one who told DSS that they really wanted the chosen foster family to be able to 'bond' and 'get to know her'.

She is so tiny!!! She is currently 4 pounds, 2 ounces. I can't wait for her to come home.
