Non-Pharmacologic Measures • Dark, quiet environment • Swaddling and comforting techniques • Swaying, rocking • Skin-to-skin contact (parents only) • Music therapy • Small but frequent feedings • Breast feeding approved by AAP • Contraindications: HIV (+) • Relative contraindications: Hepatitis C (+), heroin, cocaine, alcohol abuse • Family education Hudak, ML, et al. Pediatrics. 2012; 129: e540-e560. Sutter MB, et al. ObstetGynecolClin N Am. 2014; 41: 317-334.

  11. Long-Term Outcomes • Difficult to evaluate • Confounding variables • Withdrawal seizures respond to opiates and do not necessarily carry an increased risk of poor outcomes • Neurocognitive delays possible during infancy • Working memory updating - Resolved at ~ 7 months • Regulation and quality of movement • Excitability • Delay in milestones: Independent sitting, crawling Hudak, ML, et al. Pediatrics. 2012; 129: e540-e560. Sutter MB, et al. ObstetGynecolClin N Am. 2014; 41: 317-334. Logan BA, et al. ClinObstet Gynecol. March 2013; 56(1): 186-192.

  12. Take Home Points • Pregnant women on methadone may require higher doses during pregnancy • Buprenorphine is now considered a safe, alternative option for pregnant women enrolled in an opioid maintenance program • Breastfeeding is beneficial for NAS even while the mom is still enrolled in the maintenance program

  13. Assessment Question • During which trimester is a pregnant woman most likely to require her highest dose of methadone? • 1st Trimester • 2nd Trimester • 3rd Trimester
