What is national rainbow baby day?

National Rainbow Baby Day is recognized on August 22nd each year. This day is dedicated to celebrating and honoring the babies born after a miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, or a child's loss. These babies are often referred to as "rainbow babies" because they are seen as a beautiful ray of hope and light after a storm.

National Rainbow Baby Day is a day to reflect on the journey of grief and loss that many parents have experienced, while also celebrating the new life that has come into their lives. It is a day to raise awareness about pregnancy and infant loss, and to offer support and understanding to those who have experienced such tragedies.

Many people mark National Rainbow Baby Day by wearing rainbow colors, sharing their stories on social media, and participating in events and activities that support grieving families. It is a day to remember and honor the babies who are no longer with us, while also celebrating the joy and hope that rainbow babies bring into the world.
