LuAnn,
I know a bit about these sort of situations. I'd encourage lots of skin to
skin if baby will tolerate it. There is a case history of a drug addicted
baby breastfeeding in my recent paper about adoptive breastfeeding at
http://www.internationalbreastfeedingjournal.com/content/1/1/5
It is really worth working with with these vulnerable babies.
