This year’s theme underscores the urgent need for equitable, high-quality care for every preterm baby, regardless of where, when, or how they are born. From life-saving treatments in the NICU to long-term follow-up care, access to the right support makes all the difference for these vulnerable newborns. Let's raise awareness and ensure every baby receives the best possible start in life.

Did you know? According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), only 40% of infants under six months old are exclusively breastfed worldwide! 🌍 Many mothers face challenges that affect their ability to breastfeed, including limited resources and support. Various factors can influence a mother’s milk supply. It’s essential to recognise and support alternative feeding methods to ensure babies receive the necessary nourishment and care.

This National Infant Mortality Awareness Month, we come together to shine a light on the crucial issue of infant mortality. According to the National Healthy Start Association (NHSA), the infant mortality rate reflects the well-being of not just our babies but also pregnant women and children. Factors such as maternal health, access to quality healthcare, socioeconomic conditions, and community health all play a role. At Lamaze, we are committed to supporting maternal and infant health throughout pregnancy and beyond. Our resources, including blogs, podcasts, articles from The Journal of Perinatal Education, and the Lamaze Learning Center, are valuable tools for educating childbirth educators about this important issue. Explore our educational resources and stay informed to better support the families you serve: https://bit.ly/3yYyLk5 #NIMAM #InfantMortalityAwareness
