I have a client who's looking to adopt, and who has been asked if she would
accept a baby who'd have to go through methadone withdrawal.  Before she
answers, she wonders about how bfing and kangaroo care work with methadone
babies.  Anything special she should know?  For instance, apparently in her
area the babies must be hospitalized, and are kept in special rocking
hammocks in a darkened room, which sounds to both of us as if they'd be
especially good candidates for Kcare.  Or are they too jittery for it?
Anyone have any experience?
