Babies Born to AddictS
Have Craving Of Mother
Doctor Says Symptoms Of Child
Follow Parent.

CHICAGO.-Infants born to moth
ers addicted to morphine show all
the symptoms Of an addict suddenly
deprived of the drug, a physician
reported. If not properly treated, he
added, the baby may die of convul-
SION the first week of life.
Writing in the Journal of the
American Medical Association, DR..
Meyer A. Perlstein of Chicago said
that the addiction of the baby actu-
ally matched that of the mother.
Separation from the maternal
circulation shuts off the supply of
drug to the newborn, and with
drawal symptoms ensue within
three days." he said.
He said that although physicians
whose patients include morphine ad-
diets know of the condition, it is
"unmentioned in standard textbooks
OF p%ediatrics or medicine"
I'm the past, some investigators
enormously assumed that morphine
was excreted in human milk; hence,
breast feeding by the addicted
mother was a method employed in
the treatment of congenital NOR
phinism. 1t is a fact, though, that
morphine is not thus excreted, and
the emphasis in treatment is now
directed toward ISOLATION"
He described a case of congenital
addiction in which the seven pound
five ounce baby, appearing normal
at birth, became irritable and rest
less on the third day of life. The
symptoms became exaggerated the
fourth day and the infant had lost a
pound and a half of weight.
Phenobarbital was administered
every four hours and all symptoms,
including commissions, diminished.
eight weeks, the administra-
ton of phenobarbital was tapered
and halted. The child showed nor
nal development in the year the
was followed.
