I don't follow this at all. The baby is getting morphine? Why?! Are you joking? (I hope you're joking). The baby will be born addicted. If you're on methadone and pregnant it's highly unadvised that you detox at this point. talk to your clinic and stay on the recommended dosage till after the baby is born. The child will then be monitored and weened while in the hospital (it takes about 2 weeks). You'll taper afterwards typically.
