The causes of infant mortality can be related to the conditions in which moms and babies live, learn, work, and play. Communities experiencing higher levels of poverty, crime, and food insecurity, as well as deteriorating neighborhood and housing conditions often experience higher rates of infant mortality. Women living within these communities may experience higher levels of stress. High levels of stress can cause a baby to be born too early (prematurely), which can increase a baby’s risk of dying before they reach their first birthday.
