Police say a Pennsylvania woman laced her baby's formula with a drug that helps heroin addicts kick the habit so he would sleep.
The (Allentown) Morning Call (http://bit.ly/2alRBnd) reports 28-year-old Corinne Barndt told police she drugged her son's formula six or seven times from November to April.
The drug she is accused of using is buprenorphine (boo-prehn-OR'-feen). It's a painkiller also used to wean addicts off heroin.
The Haycock Township woman is charged with child endangerment and reckless endangerment. She remains jailed Friday, unable to post $1 million bond.
Online court records don't list an attorney for her. Barndt faces a preliminary hearing Aug. 8.
The 8-month-old's custody and health status isn't clear.
