Answer by Wall-e
Different hospitals call it different things. The hospital I currently work at refer to babies with the potential to be born addicted to substances is “ISUM” babies.

ISUM – Infants of Substance-Using Mothers

As to the person who said “CRACK BABY”. You are ignorant. Not all babies born addicted to drugs, for example, are born that way because the mother was “abusing drugs”. There are some babies who experience adverse effects because the mother is on drugs for HEALTH REASONS where stopping the drug for the duration of pregnancy would be dangerous. Get educated before you speak.
