Abstract
The article presents a study in Australia which identified strategies that promote the mental health and development of infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). Also cited are the importance of the relationship between the infant and the primary care-giver in optimal brain development of the child, and the reasons behind the lack of interaction between the mother and her infant during hospitalisation like poor maternal physical or mental health.
