This study examined the effects of carefully controlled amounts of analgesic premedications and anesthetics administered to mothers during delivery on the behavior of the newborn over the first ten days of life. The subjects were selected to minimize the synergistic effects of medication and other stress factors, such as abnormalities of pregnancy, labor, or delivery. The effects of these drugs on the behavior of these infants was small. The data provide a picture of the behavioral recovery of a group of minimally stressed newborns.
