How far back can umbilical cord testing for a newborn baby go back for new born babies exposed to drugs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They do not test the umbilical cord for drugs. They could find some testing the blood but that is not as accurate as the place usually studied. For that they use meconium (early poops) It is good for detection as early as to the moment when meconium starts to form at about 12 weeks.
