Description

Treating neonates with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome has often involved the separation of the mother infant dyad and a NICU admission; something we know interrupts bonding and infant development.

In the last several years a new family centered model called Eat Sleep and Console (ESC)was developed. This model promotes maternal engagement, breastfeeding, the mother infant dyad rooming-in and a functional based assessment of infants. The approach is a substantial change from previous NICU care using primarily a pharmacological approach based on a scoring tool to treat and care for these babies. This session will review the history of treating substance exposed neonates, the development of the ESC model, and a functional approach to the assessment of a substance exposed infant.
