Your baby’s movements matter.

Count the Kicks encourages expectant parents to get to know their baby’s normal movement patterns during the third trimester.

A noticeable change in movement can be an important signal that a baby may be in distress, and a reason to contact a healthcare provider right away.

Know your baby’s normal. Trust your instincts. Speak up when something feels different.

Every sleep is an opportunity to help keep babies safe. Each year in the United States, approximately 3,500 infants die from sleep-related causes.

Babies should sleep on their backs on a firm, flat sleep surface, with soft bedding, pillows, bumpers, and toys kept out of the sleep area.

Safe sleep can be challenging, and families deserve practical information, resources, and support - not judgment.

Mighty Moments provides the tools and education to help caregivers create safer sleep environments. Let’s work together to protect babies and strengthen families.
