The Florida House of Representatives has introduced House Resolution HR 8091, which designates October 15, 2025, as "National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day" in the state. This resolution acknowledges the profound grief experienced by parents and families who suffer the loss of an infant, often compounded by societal taboos that discourage open discussion about miscarriage, stillbirth, and related medical complications. The resolution highlights the historical context of this observance, referencing the establishment of October as "Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month" by Congress in 1988 and the support for National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day through a 2006 Congressional resolution.

The resolution also emphasizes the alarming statistics surrounding infant mortality, including the World Health Organization's report of 2.3 million infant deaths within the first month of life in 2022 and nearly 2 million stillbirths annually. It notes the role of Florida's Healthy Start program in addressing these issues by providing essential services to pregnant women and families, aiming to reduce risks associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. By recognizing this day, the resolution seeks to break the silence surrounding pregnancy and infant loss, encouraging families to remember and honor their lost children.
