The amount of babies that die each year is around 11,300 to 12,000 babies that die each year and those babies that die do so and die at birth.

So there are a lot of babies that are dead at birth or soon after birth but compared to the amount of babies that do live those 11,000 to 12,000 babies is a small amount.

Another 1,000 or 7,000 babies die each year as well within the first year of their lives either due to medical issues or SIDS.

It's very sad and I could not imagine what it would be like to lose a baby to death right after birth, right at birth or any other time.

It has got to be very hard for the parents to have to go through that.
