lower your baby’s weight the greater their risk of complications. Low birth weight has
higher risk of developmental difficulties, health complications, and premature death than
babies born at normal weight. Families of children with very low birth weight experience
more distress and burden. Especially in cases of prematurity, neonatal medical
complications, and long hospitalization. Which leads more symptoms of depression on
family. The socio-economic differences in birth weight are associated by maternal lifestyle,
like alcohol intake, exposure to smoking impact toward low birth weight. Beside that
mothers at lower socioeconomic levels, characterized by less education, inadequate care
during pregnancy, unemployment and smoking leads adverse birth outcomes. There is a
strong need for an ongoing care and have access to improved health, prenatal care and
healthier lifestyle before and during pregnancy.Some minority populations (African
American, native American), diverse cultures and low economic levels of woman are at
greater risks for poor birth outcomes. The percentage of low birth weight for non-Hispanic
black or African American nearly double that of non-Hispanic whites (13.6% vs 7.0%).
Other populations like Puerto Ricans (9.7%), Filipinos (8.6%), Japanese (7.6%) and
American Indians (7.2%).Texas Medicaid and children health insurance program (CHIP),

birth weight babies on family and communityHaving a low birth child comes with a lot of
mental pressure to parents and families. This is because families feel they have lost what
would have been a healthy member. Low weight babies come with a lot of burden to
2. families. Sometimes parents must take unpaid off and leave from work to take care for their
loved ones. This leads to lose of income which impacts on the family’s ability to afford basic
needs. Again, it comes in with increased debt as the cost of treatment is high, (Lakshmanan
et al, 2017). Low birth weight babies have increased risk of contracting other diseases as
their bodies immune system is weak. Most of the babies end up readmitted in hospital again
thus creating more financial worries and burden. It does also come with social isolation in
some cultures as its associated with bad omen. Helping families and NICU support
groups.Besides the financial and social effects, low birth weight has long term health effects.
These babies suffer delayed milestones which affects their intellectual, mental and physical
growth. Some end up becoming a burden to their families because despite reaching
adulthood they must be cared for like small children.Ethnic disparities have direct impact
on low birth weight babies. This is associated with socio economic factors which directly or
indirectly contribute to families having low birthweight babies.Support services for preterm
infants and their familiesWe have several organizations which advance welfare of preterm
babies. One is the Grahams foundation. This organization does support, inform and offer
guidance to families of premature babies. This is achieved through collaboration with
communities and parents to improve wellbeing of the babies and their families. (Adopted
