It is not clear if one type of non-medication therapy is better than another. Common non-medication approaches include physical environment adjustments, swaddling, and breastfeeding. Adjusting physical environments
Infants with NAS symptoms may have hypersensitivity to light and sounds. Techniques such as darkening the room and eliminating surrounding sounds work to lessen the neonates visual and auditory stimuli. Swaddling
Swaddling (wrapping an infant firmly in a blanket) can help improve sleep, develop nerves and muscles, decrease stress, and improve motor skills. Breastfeeding
Infants with NAS may have problems with feeding or slow growth, which require higher-calorie feedings that provide greater nutrition. It is beneficial to give smaller portions more often throughout the day. Breastfeeding promotes infant attachment and bonding, and is associated with a decreased need for medication, may lessen the severity of NAS, and lead to shorter hospital stays.Most pregnant people who are taking buprenorphine or methadone can safely breastfeed their infant. Both buprenorphine and methadone remain in the human milk at low concentrations, which will reduce signs and symptoms of NAS and likely decrease the treatment time. However, there are exclusions in which it is not safe to breastfeed, such as an HIV-positive mother and a mother with history of street drug use or multiple illicit drug use. Medication treatment
Although non-medication intervention remains first-line treatment, pharmacological intervention, when appropriate and indicated, can improve signs of neonatal withdrawal.Common medication approaches:

Opioids
Opioids have shown to improve symptoms to a clinically safe level but may not affect length of hospital stay. Its common to slowly taper down to wean the infant off.
Sulconazole (trade name Exelderm) is an antifungal medication of the imidazole class. It is available as a cream or solution to treat skin infections such as athletes foot, ringworm, jock itch, and sun fungus. Although not used commercially for insect control, sulconazole nitrate exhibits a strong anti-feeding effect on the keratin-digesting Australian carpet beetle larvae Anthrenocerus australis. == References ==
