We all want Oklahoma’s babies to be safe and healthy. Many things can help and everyone can play a role.

Before and Between Pregnancy

Being healthy before and between pregnancies increases the chances of having a healthy baby.

Maternal Mental Health

Some new mothers need help with depression after childbirth.

Injury Prevention for Babies

Knowing how to prevent the leading causes of injuries to babies will help keep our children safe and secure.

Premature Birth

Did you know a full-term pregnancy is longer than nine months?

Safe Sleep for Baby

Sleeping on the baby's back helps reduce the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Infections and Pregnancy

Protect you and your unborn baby or newborn from infections that cause serious health problems.
