The U.S. infant mortality rate decreased from 5.5 per 1,000 live births in 2024 to slightly fewer than 5.4 in 2025, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This decline is statistically meaningful and corresponds to approximately 19,350 infant deaths in 2025, down from previous years. The rate had been about 5.6 per 1,000 live births in the two years preceding 2024. Infant mortality is defined as the number of babies who die before reaching their first birthday. The U.S. infant mortality rate still trails other similar nations. According to preliminary government data, infant mortality in the U.S. dropped to a new all-time low in 2025, as reported by TribLive. Dr. Michael Warren said the decline is an encouraging data point and the trend should continue.
