September is National Infant Mortality Month. Infant Mortality is the death of a live-born baby within the first year of life. During this time of recognition, our goal is to continue to educate mothers, fathers, family members, community leaders and our public about the shocking number of infant deaths being experienced by families in The United States, and how they can be reduced. "Simply put, our babies are dying! People just don’t realize the impact of infant mortality in our communities and so we have launched our Campaign for Healthier Babies," states Jennie Joseph, midwife, Executive Director of Commonsense Childbirth Inc. and the founder of The JJ Way™ maternity health care system.
The United States is 41st in a ranking of 222 countries according to the CIA World Fact Book 2008¹. Nationally, around 6 of every 1000 babies born will die before their first birthday. Many are lost within the first month of life. The leading causes of death are prematurity (being born too soon), low birth weight (being born too small), congenital birth defects, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS or crib death) and injuries.
Please enjoy these rewarding photos of our Beautiful Black Babies. Our programs work! You can see for yourself that we truly have "chunky" babies, The JJ Way.
