🚼❗Little lungs need clean air. Like all the other organs in the body, your baby’s lungs are still developing, which makes them especially vulnerable to secondhand smoke. Exposure to secondhand smoke can increase a baby's risk of respiratory infections, ear infections, asthma-related problems and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). One of the best ways to protect your little one is to create a smoke-free environment. Here are a some ways to help keep the air around your baby clean: ✔️Don't smoke or vape around your baby ✔️Keep your home smokefree ✔️Keep your car smokefree, even when your baby isn't inside ✔️Be aware of thirdhand smoke–the smoke residue that can remain on clothing, furniture and other surfaces ✔️Ask family members, friends and caregivers not to smoke around your baby If you or someone in your household smokes, making changes can be difficult. Start where you can, talk with your healthcare provider about support for quitting and continue working toward a smoke-free environment for your family. During September's observance of Infant Mortality Awareness Month, and every month, Camden Healthy Start is committed to sharing information families can use to create safer, healthier environments for their babies. Every baby deserves a healthy start, and clean air is part of it.

What can you do to give your baby a healthy start? Every parent wants their baby to be healthy and thrive. While not every health outcome can be prevented or controlled, there are steps families and communities can take to support babies from pregnancy through their first year of life. A healthy start can include: ✅Getting early and regular prenatal care to monitor the health of both mom and baby ✅Taking prenatal vitamins as recommended to provide important nutrients during pregnancy ✅Creating a smoke-free environment during pregnancy and after baby arrives ✅Practicing safe sleep every time: baby should sleep alone, on their back, in a safety-approved crib, bassinet or play yard with a firm, flat sleep surface ✅Keeping well-child appointments so baby's growth, development, vaccinations and overall health can be monitored ✅Getting feeding support when needed, whether that's help with breastfeeding, pumping, formula feeding or another concern✅Building a strong support system–fathers/father figures, partners, family members, friends, healthcare providers and community programs can all play a role in helping parents and babies thrive Healthy babies don't happen through parenting alone. Families also need access to quality healthcare, safe environments, reliable resources, education and support. During September's observance of Infant Mortality Awareness Month, and every month, Camden Healthy Start is committed to helping families access the tools and support they need for healthier beginnings and brighter futures.#CamdenHealthyStart #InfantMortalityAwarenessMonth #HealthyStart #InfantHealth #HealthyBabies #HealthyFamilies ...

September is National Infant Mortality Awareness Month. Infant mortality refers to the death of a baby before their first birthday. This month is an opportunity to raise awareness, educate families, remember the babies who have been lost and continue working toward healthier outcomes for every mother and baby. Supporting infant health begins before birth and continues throughout a baby's first year. Prenatal care, safe sleep practices, smoke-free environments, well-baby visits, breastfeeding support, recognizing warning signs and access to quality healthcare and community resources can all play an important role in giving babies a healthy start. At Camden Healthy Start, our commitment goes beyond awareness. We work alongside mothers, fathers, babies and families to provide education, support, resources and connections to care that help families thrive. This September, let's continue the conversation, support one another and work together toward a future where every baby has the opportunity for a healthy beginning. Every baby deserves the opportunity to grow, thrive and celebrate their first birthday. #CamdenHealthyStart #InfantMortalityAwarenessMonth #InfantMortalityAwareness #CamdenHealthyStart #HealthyBabies #HealthyFamilies #MaternalAndInfantHealth #HealthyMomsHealthyBabies ...
