The Brutal Reality of NAS: Fostering Babies Born Addicted

"They don't sleep, they shake, and they cry in a way you've never heard before." 🍼💊 In this episode of The Journey to Fostering, hosts Sarah (Social Work Expert) and Tom (Experienced Foster Carer) discuss the reality of fostering newborns born with drug or alcohol dependencies. We explore the medical reality of NAS (Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome) and the practical techniques foster carers use to soothe a baby who is hurting. In this episode: 🏥 Understanding Withdrawal: Sarah explains why the baby is shaking, sneezing, or stiff. It is a nervous system overload. 🤫 Sensory Management: Why "low light, low noise, and tight swaddling" is the golden rule for NAS babies. 🤱 The "Neuro-Cry": Tom describes the distinctive high-pitched cry of a withdrawing baby and how to handle the emotional toll it takes on you. 🕊️ Empathy for Birth Mums: How to manage your own feelings of anger or judgment towards the birth parents during contact. ❓ The Unknowns: A brief look at Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and why we often have to "wait and see." ⬇️ Get Your FREE Fostering Guide - www.fostercareagencies.co.uk/free-fostering-guide Are You Ready to Take the First Step into Fostering? - www.fostercareagencies.co.uk/is-fostering-for-you #FosterCareNewborn #NASbaby #NeonatalAbstinenceSyndrome #FASD #DrugWithdrawalBaby #FosterCarerTips #SocialWork #PediatricCare
