January is National Birth Defects Awareness Month.
It’s a time to recognize that every family’s story deserves understanding and support. Birth defects affect babies every day, and many families begin their journey facing challenges they never expected. Awareness helps people learn what contributes to a healthy pregnancy and why early detection can change long‑term outcomes. It also connects families to the resources that help them feel supported and informed.
A baby is born with a birth defect every 4.5 minutes in the United States, reminding us how important compassion and community truly are. Families should never feel alone as they navigate care, decisions, and hope.
This year’s theme, “Every Journey Matters,” highlights how every experience is unique and every child deserves a strong start.
Throughout January, organizations are offering ways to learn and stay engaged. MotherToBaby is hosting a free national webinar, “Zika in 2026: Lessons from the Past and the Current State of Research and Risk,” on January 28, 2026 at 12 PM ET for clinicians, families, and anyone seeking evidence‑based prenatal information.
Together, we can spread understanding, support families, and honor every child’s journey.
