  •             Taking folic acid pills before, during and between pregnancies.
  •             Starting prenatal care early, as soon as you think you’re pregnant.
  •             Getting regular prenatal care.
  •             Avoiding alcohol, tobacco, and drugs while pregnant.
  •             Breastfeeding your baby.
  •             Placing your baby on his/her back to sleep on a hard firm mattress in a crib.
