I would, as a pp nurse who works frequently with addicted mothers, and withdrawing babies, go by the guidelines you have used that are put forth by those who know and have done the research. Giving a baby milk with cocaine in it, if that is the case, is risky...I would consult the doctors who work with these mothers and who are treating the baby for withdrawal. Where we are, babies are put on methadone, not morphine. Weird. If the mom is not treated for abuse, and is going to go back to using on discharge, this could be a very dangerous situation for the baby, and DCF may be involved. I would be very very careful on this one....I would consult th rules as stated on the IBCLC pages, IBLCE, that is, and see if there is a cause for bringing this situation to light with the PTB. We, as professionals, must follow the guidelines for safety and wellbeing of all our clients, especially the littlest ones. -- Kathleen B.
