Report: Infant Mortality Rates Dropping

U.S. Infant Mortality Rates Finally Dropping Again:  Report by Denise Mann.  U.S. News/HealthDay.    April 17, 2013.

A crackdown on elective deliveries prior to 37 weeks of pregnancy and a declining rate of SIDS are two factors contributing to the decline after five years of leveling off.  While there is progress the infant mortality and preterm birth rates are still higher than in other countries.
