👶 What’s Happening to Your Baby

Your baby depends entirely on you for:

• Oxygen
• Nutrients
• A stable environment to grow

Certain substances can:

• Affect how your baby’s brain develops
• Reduce oxygen and nutrients reaching the baby
• Lead to your baby being born dependent on substances

In some cases, babies may experience:

• Withdrawal symptoms after birth (Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome)
• Feeding or sleeping difficulties
