LIFT Healthy Start Pregnant??? Let us give your baby a Healthy Start! Why Healthy Start? Although the U.S. infant deaths.

Healthy Start works to prevent infant mortality in 87 communities with infant mortality rates at least 1.5 times the national average and high rates of low birthweight, preterm birth, maternal mortality and maternal morbidity (serious medical conditions resulting from or aggravated by pregnancy and delivery). Healthy Start communities are some of the nation's poorest and Healthy Start families frequently struggle to meet their most basic needs. Healthy Start reaches out to pregnant women and new mothers and connects them with the health care and other resources they need to nurture their children. infant mortality rate has declined in recent years, major disparities persist. More than twice as many African American babies do not live to see their first birthdays as their white counterparts. African American women are more likely than white or Hispanic women to deliver their babies before 37 weeks gestation, putting them at risk for infant death. Healthy Start programs use proven strategies to reduce preterm birth, low birthweight, birth defects, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), maternal complications and unintentional injuries, which account for more than half of U.S. Healthy Start programs also address social and economic factors that have been shown to have a negative impact on child health and development, including having a mother who is younger than 18 or older than 35, has less than a high school education, is low income, has a disability and/or lives under stressful conditions. What Works

At LIFT Healthy Start, we are committed to raising awareness about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and helping families create safe sleep environments for their little ones. Every baby deserves a safe place to sleep, and learning the ABCs of Safe Sleep is an important step in protecting our babies. πŸ‘ΆπŸ©΅

Remember the ABCs of Safe Sleep!

πŸ…°οΈ A β€” Alone: Baby should sleep alone in their own sleep space, without pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, or other loose items.

πŸ…±οΈ B β€” Back: Always place your baby on their back for every nap and nighttime sleep.

πŸ…² C β€” Crib: Use a safety-approved crib, bassinet, or play yard with a firm, flat mattress and a fitted sheet.

Together, we can support families, promote safe sleep practices, and help give every baby a safer start in life.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month πŸ’—πŸ’™

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month is dedicated to recognizing the grief experienced by families who have lost a baby through miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, newborn death, or other causes. This month aims to break the silence, offer support, and raise awareness about the prevalence of these losses. In the United States, approximately 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in loss.

At LIFT Healthy Start, we are here to shine a light on pregnancy and infant loss, honor the babies gone too soon, and support the families who carry their memories in their hearts. We recognize that every loss matters, every family's grief is unique, and no family should have to navigate this journey alone.

This month, and every month, we stand with families who have experienced loss. We encourage open conversations, compassion, and continued awareness to remind grieving parents that their babies are remembered, their grief is valid, and support is available.

πŸ•ŠοΈ Gone too soon, loved forever, remembered always. πŸ’œ

October is a time to raise awareness about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and the importance of creating a safe sleep environment for our little ones. Every baby deserves a safe place to sleep, and sharing education and resources can help protect our tiniest loved ones. πŸ‘ΆπŸ’œ

Remember these important safe sleep practices:
πŸ›οΈ Always place your baby on their back for every sleep.
🧸 Use a firm, flat mattress with a fitted sheet and keep the crib free of blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, and other soft items.
πŸ‘Ά Have your baby sleep in their own crib or bassinet in your room, ideally for at least the first six months.
🚭 Keep your baby’s environment smoke-free.
🀱 Offer a pacifier at nap time and bedtime, once breastfeeding is well established if breastfeeding.

At LIFT Healthy Start, we are committed to supporting families with education, resources, and safe sleep information to help every baby get the healthiest start possible. πŸ’œ

Let’s spread awareness, share lifesaving information, and work together to help every baby sleep safely.
