This week we are diving into the exact criteria hospitals need to meet the Mother-Friendly criteria to help you determine if you hospital is Mother-Friendly or not. HeHe and Meagan continue to work through the Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative. It’s easy for hospitals to 'check these boxes', but still be traumatizing folks. HeHe and Meagan are breaking down everything you need to look for in your birthing facility.

The Healthy People Initiative has goals of the US infant mortality rate being 5 in every 1000 births. Only 11 states met this criteria in 2018 when they checked in and the number of infant deaths were highest in the southern states-- MS, AL, LA, GA, TN
