Abstract
Understanding the benefits of breastfeeding for opioid‐dependent pregnant women and their neonates will enable clinicians to safely recommend breastfeeding for long‐term health of these high‐risk women and their infants. This review of the effects of in‐utero exposure to opioids on infant development can assist clinicians to more effectively support opioid‐dependent women to breastfeed their infants.
