In the neonatal unit, you went to visit a mother and her 6 day old male baby. She reports that he is hardly sleeping at all, he is ‘super irritable’, his muscles feel tight, he is sweating a lot, sneezing, yawning, vomiting and having diarrhea. In the physical examination, you noticed a jittery baby with high pitched cry, who has a poor sucking reflex, nasal stuffiness, fever, tremors and hypertonia. He has tachycardia and tachypnea. Mother reports the use of buprenorphine through her 9 months of pregnancy for opioid use disorder. She is now breast feeding her baby. What is the next best step in the management of this baby?
