To understand the broader societal context for supporting the healthy development and well-being of infants and toddlers, the following excerpt from the "State of Babies Yearbook: 2022 Executive Summary" presents key findings on the status of America's families with young children. As of August 2022, the reconciliation bill proposed in the Senate does not include the durable, sustained investments in health, tax credits, or child care policies recommended in the 2022 "Yearbook" that would directly support families with young children. The authors remain hopeful the opportunity to implement these and other transformational supports for babies and families will not be missed in the final legislation.
