Study Questions 'Crack Baby' Syndrome
"Poor parenting in infancy may be more to blame for developmental problems in children born to cocaine-addicted mothers, rather than any effect of cocaine exposure in utero, according to a new study.
The Georgia study found that children born to women who used cocaine during their pregnancy do better if they live with caregivers other than their mother or other family members, according to a study by the Society for Research in Child Development.
The study included 83 children whose mothers took cocaine during pregnancy and 63 non-exposed children."
