All-inclusive term describing a newborn whose birth mother used alcohol, cocaine, opiates, or other potentially hazardous chemicals during pregnancy. These babies are considered to be at high risk for complications during the neonatal period; many also exhibit related long-term disabilities that influence their potential for normal growth and development. Perinatal complications include intrauterine growth retardation, infection, asphyxia, congenital abnormalities, low birth weight, low Apgar score, withdrawal related symptoms, jaundice, and behavioral problems. Long-term complications include behavioral problems such as short attention span, delayed development of language-related skills, and sudden infant death syndrome.
