Baby Loss Awareness Week is observed annually from October 9 to October 15. In 2025, it runs from Thursday, October 9 to Wednesday, October 15. This week is dedicated to remembering babies who died during pregnancy, at birth, or in early infancy. The week serves as a time for parents, families, friends, and communities to come together to raise awareness, offer support, and commemorate the lives of babies lost too soon. The week culminates in the "Wave of Light" on October 15 at 7:00 pm, when candles are lit worldwide to honor these babies' memories. Baby Loss Awareness Week is supported by many charities and provides an opportunity for sharing experiences and building a supportive community.
