Home > New Parents & Caregivers

Congratulations!  You have a new baby or are caring for someone’s precious bundle.  Recent advances in medical research have allowed experts to develop recommendations to reduce the risk of SIDS and accidental infant deaths. For the first time ever, we have proactive steps that parents and caregivers can take to help their baby survive and thrive.  

While this is great news, it has required an about-face in childcare practices – not an easy task.  With so many people caring for the more than 4 million babies born in the United States each year, it is critical that these life-saving messages reach all communities and all populations. 

Please share this information with all those caring for babies in your community.  Working together we can continue to have a significant impact on our country’s high rates of infant mortality . . . in the belief that every baby should live. 

Breastfeeding is best for the overall health and well being of your baby. For more information, contact the La Leche League International  (http://www.lalecheleague.org)
