Drug Exposed Newborns
I have seen alot of posts here regarding how to deal with drug exposed babies...I have had my share and this really works....Get a Baby Sling...and wear your baby. I have found this helps when they dont want eye contact or closeness of being held(usually they are restless). I swaddle mine up, put them in the sling and go about my day...gives them the closeness without overstimulating...matches movement when they were in in the tummy and frees up your arms  You can find at babies'r'us or online. Its been a lifesaver...thought I would pass along My drug babies have ended up being some of the sweetest things after intial withdrawal...Good Luck!
