Do you know what the newborn withdrawal syndrome is? It is a disorder
affecting babies born to drug-addicted mothers who, during their
pregnancy, continue to use drugs.
Nowadays, many babies are born with this syndrome, and are therefore forced to regularly take doses of morphine to overcome the lack of heroin.
The case of Zoe:
Zoe is a baby who has just been born while being addicted to opiates. This requires a regular intake of morphine every 3 hours to relieve his lack. This is a situation that is rather unfair for a baby who has to suffer from his mother's carelessness and lack of responsibility.
Substances swallowed by her mother during pregnancy, passed inside the fetus, thus causing her addiction. In addition to the lack of which she suffers, the girl must also face episodes of chills, diarrhea, tremors and muscle pain.
The only way to soothe him is to give him several doses of morphine a
day. Little by little, the quantity will decrease until the little girl is completely weaned and she does not feel the lack anymore.
Zoe is not an isolated case! In the United States, many babies are born with the symptom of weaning newborn. According to the report broadcast on the show "seven to eight", on average in the United States, a baby addicted to heroin is born every 25 minutes, 10 times more than ten years ago.
This is also largely due to abusive prescriptions for opium-derived
medicines. In this country to treat simple neck pain, powerful analgesics are used that make both mothers and babies they give birth to.
