Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is a significant, growing problem. Non-pharmacological care for infants experiencing withdrawal is not well studied in the literature. A prospective quality improvement project was conducted utilizing a non-pharmacologic intervention bundle, with pre-implementation and post-implementation phases. Results showed that non-pharmacologic interventions were helpful in decreasing pharmacologic treatment.
