Thank you so much for your response! What a help! Actually, it was Dr. Hale's site that I was looking for, and I found it on the recommended reading sticky. But thank you for all these other wonderful resources... Much appreciated!

Thanks for the response! I'm looking for a website that specifically addresses med use during pregnancy--I know I've seen something like this on this forum before, but I can't find the thread...

Can anyone recommend a good website regarding pregnancy and medication use (listing different meds and how safe they are to use during pregnancy)? I know I've seen something along those lines on this forum, but can't seem to find the thread. Also, has anyone heard of Macrobid causing problems if taken in late pregnancy? I have a pt who is in her 39th week and just finished taking it for a UTI. I've read that women in the last month of pregnancy shouldn't take it....not sure why. Thanks!

I typically see these babies several weeks after they've been d/c home. Depends on the level of stress in the home--some kids are more fussy and some are pretty calm. Many are in foster care, and these kids seem to get better attention. The foster moms seem more able to deal with the difficulties of the situation. By the time I see them they're off meds but they still go thru non-medical withdrawal. I basically go to the home to teach moms or foster moms how to cope with a child in w/drawal. I also do developmental assessments to make sure the baby is developing as s/he should be. I typically follow for one year.

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum, so this is my first posting. I'm a PHN and work with high risk infants. I'm wondering--has anyone had experience with newborns and methadone withdrawal? What are some of the signs/symptoms of methadone withdrawal in newborns? Thanks for any responses in advance!
