The Mommy Guide

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the March of Dimes applaud today’s passage of the bipartisan Protecting Our Infants Act of 2015 (S.799), which takes much-needed strides to reduce the number of newborns born exposed to drugs, such as opioids, and to improve their care. Since the bill’s introduction, all three organizations have worked together leading advocacy efforts for its swift passage, and view today’s action as a legislative victory for mothers and newborns across the country as the bill heads to the president for signature into law.
