We work with drug-exposed babies, of course these are all practices we follow to offer them the best support and care that we can in their recovery❤️ Maddie’s Place is a pediatric transitional care facility for babies exposed to drugs and alcohol in the womb. Once removed from the umbilical cord, these babies experience heavy withdrawal from the substance their mom was using during their pregnancy. This withdrawal is called Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, which is an array of symptoms such as tremors, persistent startle, head thrashing, gut and intestinal stress, and so many others. At Maddie’s, we offer a holistic approach to caring for these babies during the most critical months of their lives.

THE SNUGGLER SCOOP | Part 2 Sensitivity to Touch Comforting touch is crucial to the development and attachment in an infants world. Babies with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome struggle to tolerate soft, light touch, as their nervous systems are on fire, and are in a constant state of fight or flight during withdrawal. At Maddie’s Place, we utilize therapeutic techniques, such as deep, gentle pressure instead of stroking or soft, rubbing, when an infant is highly sensitive to touch. ##maddiesplace##forthebabies##forthemoms##baby##babytok##nas##withdrawal##opioidcrisis##thesnugglerscoop##spokane##nonprofit##easternwashington##caregiver##gentletouch #fyp #foryourpage #foryou

Even undressing a baby before their bath can cause severe dysregulation! But, when a baby is contained in a swaddle in a flexed, midline position, their time in the water is reminiscent of their time in the womb, creating a safe and familiar space for them to rest in. At Maddie’s Place, we seek to create a calm and nuturing space for babies and their parents to recover and bond❤️ Thanks for watching the Snuggler Scoop! #maddiesplace #forthebabies #forthemoms #bathtime #bath #babybath #baby #babytoks #womb #inutero #nas #withdrawal #opioidcrisis #mom #thesnugglerscoop #spokane #easternwashington #washington #spokanenonprofit #nonprofit #foryoupage #fyp
