Question by Songbird: Would a baby who’s father is a meth addict have a child with small attention span?
My sister recently had a baby and her boyfriend has been addicted to meth for 6 years-supposedly he is clean now-but their baby is 6 months old and he has ZERO attention span! You have to be constantly walking or bouncing him to ease him. He has a really bad temper for a 6 month old-just wondering if this has anything to do with it?

Answer by Jennifer i dont think so…the father only passed on genes…while the mother can pass on whatever toxins are in her system to the child. It’s either A) genetics or B) from your sister not doing what she was suppose to do while pregnant. Sorry i dont’ mean to accuse but that’s why doctor’s make such a huge deal about what a mother consumes while pregnant. The first 3 months are the most important months to a childs mental and physical development. If she didn’t find out that she was pregnant later in her first trimester and was drinking, smoking, eating unhealthy for those first few weeks that could affect the child’s developmental progress.

Answer by Nicole H gosh I don’t have any advice to give you but I wanted to say congratulations and wish you the best of luck with your new baby. I’m sure that you will have a hard road ahead until the baby gets better and I hope he or she has a great life with you.
A baby plays with a prescription drug bottle. It’s not a baby bottle and this baby wasn’t given the bottle by a drug dealer – who thought he/she was a drug dealer.
