THE BRONZE REPORTER -

Baby's Chances Depend
Upon Pre-Natal Care

LANSING - A baby has his best
chance to live through the first
crucial weeks of life if the mother
is under a doctor~s care throughout
pregnancy, and if careful plans are
laid in advance for the baby~s birth
and his care at home.

This was the device passed out
to.prospective parents today by
the Michigan Department of Health, which said that while tremendous gains have been: made in reducing infant deaths, ~hundred. of
Michigan babies die needlessly
each year.~

Dr. Albert E. Heustis, State
Health Commissioner, said that of
4,795 infant deaths in 1954, about
four out of ten occurred on the
first-day of life, and seven out of
every ten during the first four
weeks of life.;

The Commissioner reported
~prematurity~ -- arrival of: the baby before he is due -- contributed

to about: half of the infant deaths
recorded in the state.

He said: ~In attempting to reduce the number of infant deaths
caused by premature births, we
cannot emphasize too strongly the

importance of early and good care

of the mother before wate baby
comes.

~When the mother is under af.

doctor~s.care du#ing; prengancy,
and when the baby is given close
medical supervision,
those first days and weeks of life,
the odds for survival are high.~

Dr. Heutis added that while constant research has brought steady
improvements in the care which
can be offered new mothers and
babies in hospitals and at home,
the advances are meaningful ~only
if parents take the fullest advantage of what modern: medicine can

offer.~
