The Christmas season has come and gone once again. Memories have been made. Good times have been shared. And families have come together. But alas, it’s time to pack away the decorations and lights. Put away the Christmas CD’s, and eat that last Christmas cookie. And as you hum the tunes of popular carols, and “Silent Night” comes to the forefront, it might be surprising for you to realize that on average the parents of nearly 25% of our newborn population aren’t experiencing such a “silent night.” Not during Christmas; not during anytime of the year for that matter.
