Narcan for babies

Last night I get called to the ED, It was a BS call, but as I.m hustling through the waiting room, a small Spanish dude in a pony tail comes running in from the parking lot carrying a baby and runs up to triage. They baby looks to be about a year old. He goes right in back and in seconds the kid is in code room 4 and they are calling respiratory STAT. The kid was a code. Dad's a junkie and is on methadone. Some of the staff recognized him. There is no mom in this picture, dad has custody. The kid found the methadone. Not breathing and intermittent pulse. They find out what happened and narcan the kid, whatever the narcan dose is for an infant. The kid comes around. About an hour later I walk by the room and the kid is sitting on the bed all alert, with dad sitting next to her. Someone expressed concern for brain damage, as they didnt know how long the kid was out, but she was discharged later on in the evening.
