September is National Infant Mortality Awareness Month

September is National Infant Mortality Awareness Month, sponsored in partnership by a host of organizations, including:

• Office of Minority Health
• National Health Start Association
• March of Dimes
• Baltimore City Healthy Start
• National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
• Administration for Children and Families
• Indian Health Service
• Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs
• National Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies Coalition

This year's theme is "A Healthy Baby Begins With You and You and You."

There are plenty of opportunities to get involved, from sharing a story about how you're working to prevent infant mortality at National Healthy Start Association's website.  There, you can also enter to win a one-year of baby supplies from Johnson & Johnson just for signing up for Text4Baby.
