Even the Tiniest Voices Need a Champion Do you know a baby that was born too soon, too small, unable to suck, unable to breathe on his own? Premature birth is a health crisis that jeopardizes the lives and health of nearly half-million babies each year. It is the #1 killer of newborns and can lead to lifelong disabilities. It can happen without warning and for no known reason. Until we have more answers, anyone's baby, could be born too soon. November 17 is dedicated to raising awareness of the crisis of premature birth. BlogCatalog and March of Dimes invite bloggers like you to get involved. We need to fight - because babies shouldn't have to. Learn More Follow Us Online! Upcoming Events Who Will Stand For Veterans? November 11.

The company created a twitter hashtag (#nestlefamily) to help panelists tweet about the event and to enable the tracking of information related to their PR efforts.

They spoke specifically about nutrition concerns, Nestle's violation of World Health Organization guidelines for the marketing of infant formula, the company's ties to repressive regimes, and the use of child slave labor in cocoa production.
