Q:A:What is Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome?

When a mom-to-be takes drugs during pregnancy —especially pain killers called opioids or heroin —they can be passed on to the baby. NAS happens when the baby is no longer exposed to the drugs and has withdrawal symptoms after birth.

Q:A:What can I do to prevent NAS?

You can prevent NAS by not taking any drugs during your pregnancy unless recommended by your doctor. If you are taking drugs already, talk to your doctor first before quitting. With certain drugs, quitting too quickly can hurt you and your baby.

Q:A:When do the signs of NAS start?

Usually within three days of birth, but sometimes symptoms may not happen for a few weeks.

Q:A:What are the signs of NAS?
  • Shaking, twitching muscles, seizures.
  • Trouble breathing or breathing fast.
  • Fussiness, a lot of crying, or high-pitched crying.
  • Sweating, fever or blotchy skin.
  • Trouble sleeping, a lot of yawning.
  • Throwing up or diarrhea.
  • Stuffy nose or sneezing.
  • Feeding problems or slow weight gain.
Q:A:What should I do if I think my baby has NAS?

Call your provider or the hospital right away. Your baby might need medicine, fluids or other interventions to help him feel better.

Q:A:What else can I do to help my baby?
  • Keep your baby in a quiet, darkened room.
  • Help your baby feel secure by using a special wrap called a swaddler or a sleep sack to keep him comfortable.
  • Hold your baby skin-to-skin — only in his diaper on bare chest.
  • Feed your baby smaller amounts more often if he is having trouble feeding. If you are concerned about your baby’s feeding, contact his doctor right away.
  • Breastfeed your baby. If you are still using drugs including marijuana, talk with your provider first.
Q:

Ki sa ki se Sendwòm Abstinans Neyonatal?

A:

Lè yon manman pran medikaman pandan gwosès la—sitou medikaman kont doulè ki rele opioyid oswa ewoyin—yo ka pase l bay tibebe a. NAS rive lè tibebe a pa ekspoze ankò ak medikaman yo epi li gen sentòm retrè apre li fèt.

Q:

Ki sa mwen ka fè pou anpeche NAS?

A:

Ou ka anpeche NAS lè w pa pran okenn medikaman pandan gwosès ou sof si doktè w rekòmande l. Si w ap pran medikaman deja, pale ak doktè ou anvan ou sispann pran yo. Avèk sèten medikaman, si w sispann pran yo twò vit sa ka fè ou menm ak tibebe w la mal.

Q:

Ki lè siy NAS yo kòmanse?

A:

Anjeneral nan twa jou apre nesans, men pafwa sentòm yo ka pa rive pou kèk semèn.

A:

  • Tranble, kontrasyon misk, kriz malkadi.
  • Pwoblèm pou respire oswa respire vit.
  • Irite, kriye anpil, oswa gwo kriye.
  • Swe, lafyèv oswa tach sou po.
  • Pwoblèm pou dòmi, baye anpil.
  • Vomisman oswa dyare.
  • Nen bouche oswa ap etènye.
  • Pwoblèm manje oswa difisil pou pran pwa.

Q:

Kisa mwen ta dwe fè si mwen panse tibebe mwen an gen NAS?

A:

Rele pwofesyonèl swen sante w la oswa lopital la touswit. Tibebe w la ka bezwen medikaman, likid oswa lòt entèvansyon pou ede l santi l pi byen.

Q:

Ki lòt bagay mwen ka fè pou ede tibebe mwen an?

  • Kenbe tibebe w la nan yon chanm trankil, ki fè nwa.
  • Vlope tibebe w avèk yon ti dra espesyal yo rele ematoyaj pou l santi l an sekirite oswa yon sak kouchaj pou kenbe l alèz.
  • Kenbe tibebe w la po a po — sèlman ak kouchèt sou li sou pwatrin ou.
  • Bay tibebe w la pi piti pòsyon pi souvan si li gen pwoblèm pou l manje. Si w enkyete w konsènan jan tibebe w la manje, kontakte doktè li touswit.
