Whatever mom takes into her body can impact the baby and depending on when she uses during her pregnancy- for example if it's during the first trimester- that could really impact a lot of the organ development that's happening.
Picture this: a neonatologist on the front lines, caring for the tiniest victims of the substance abuse crisis. In this episode of Recovery Radio, Dr. Connie Andrejko, VP of Medical Affairs at On-site Neonatal Partners, shares her expertise on neonatal care during these challenging times. Dr. Andrejko dives into the effects of substance abuse during pregnancy on fetal development and the innovative advancements in neonatal care that help these vulnerable newborns.
She also sheds light on how neonates with opioid addiction are treated, including the scoring of withdrawal symptoms and the significance of private rooms for their recovery.

Dr. Andrejko emphasizes the importance of mothers continuing to breastfeed while on methadone or suboxone, and discusses the recovery process for both neonates and mothers, underscoring the role of community support.
