3 babies per day hooked on heroin in UK

LONDON: Three babies a day born in the UK are addicted to heroin, crack cocaine and other drugs, a new study claims.

Figures show over the past five years in Britain, more than 5,500 babies have been born hooked on the drugs because of their mother's own addictions.

Statistics from the department of health show that all of the newborn babies were showing " neonatal withdrawal symptoms" within the first few hours of drawing breath, the Daily Mail said.

This can see the babies - who need specialist care to cope with fever, severe vomiting and diarrhea and are so addicted they fit within the first few hours of life - given opiates to "wean them off" heroin.

The figures, revealed by Conservative MP for Enfield North Nick de Bois, show the highest rate of addicted baby births is in the North West Strategic Health Authority, which covers Liverpool and Manchester.
