Hushabye Nursery

Hushabye Nursery Hushabye Nursery is an intermediate residential medically observed recovery center for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome.

Hushabye Nursery provides compassionate, evidence-based care for babies experiencing withdrawal and supports parents impacted by substance use disorder with a calm, judgment-free place to heal, grow, and stay connected. Hushabye Nursery is necessary due to the emerging crisis of substance-abused infants. A baby can go through drug withdrawal after birth. From 2008-2013 there were a total of 1,472

cases of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome in Arizona. There was a significant increase (235%) in NAS rates from 2008 to 2014. There are a limited number of beds for critically ill infants, and because the drug-exposed infant can require four to eight weeks of care, our NICU's are burdened with the task of caring for these infants. The NICU was designed for intensive care, not therapeutic care. The solution is simple, keep the critically ill infants in the NICU where they belong, and refer drug exposed infants to a recovery center for NAS, such as Hushabye Nursery. Hushabye Nursery will provide these infants with a quiet, loving, therapeutic environment while they wean from the drugs to which they have become physically dependent. The staff will have special training from the national leaders in NAS treatment. In addition, families will get the support they need for the road to recovery that will include support after discharge for the transition to home.

At Hushabye, we focus on the Eat, Sleep, and Console, which is a gentle approach that supports babies exposed to substances during pregnancy by focusing on what matters most: eating well, sleeping comfortably, and being comforted when upset.

Parents and caregivers play a key role in the baby's care. Holding, feeding, and staying close help babies feel safe and calm.

Through our one-to-one care model, every baby receives continuous care from a dedicated caregiver, nurse, volunteer, or AmeriCorps member who provides comfort and soothing whenever needed, helping babies feel safe and supported to help them thrive.

Tiny tummies, sleepy newborns, and the first 24 hours matter.

Chelsey shares how to stimulate milk production in the first 24 hours after a baby is born, whether that’s through latching, hand expression, or pumping. Even if your baby is sleepy, gentle stimulation every 2–3 hours will help signal your body to start making milk.

Why Hushabye? πŸ’š It’s one of the questions we hear most from families.

Babies exposed to opioids before birth can seem okay at first, but withdrawal symptoms may show up days later. That’s why many babies need to be monitoring in a medical setting like Hushabye through at least day five of age before going home.

At Hushabye, babies receive that monitoring in a calm, family-centered space designed to care for both baby and family. We focus on supportive care and comfort with medication only when needed.

Families choose Hushabye because they can be part of their baby’s care. You can spend the day, stay part of the day, or even stay overnight.

At Hushabye babies go home much sooner on average 7.7 days compared to 22 days in a traditional NICU setting and families who connect with us during pregnancy have more opportunities to plan, prepare, and go home safely together.

No matter where you are on your journey, whether sober, struggling, scared, or unsure, you'll be met with support, not judgment.

Breastfeeding Basics 🍼

Wondering if your baby is getting enough milk while breastfeeding?

Chelsey, RN and lactation consultant at Hushabye Nursery, shares three signs to watch for:
- A content baby after feeding
- Plenty of wet and dirty diapers: at least 6 wet diapers a day and at least 1 stool each day.
- Steady weight gain as your baby grows.

At Hushabye, breastfeeding support is one of the many services we provide for our moms, so you never have to navigate feeding questions alone. Whether you need reassurance, guidance, or extra support, our team is here for you.
