What is a rainbow baby?
According to the American Pregnancy Association, "A rainbow baby is a healthy baby born after losing a baby due to miscarriage, infant loss, stillbirth, or neonatal death." The celebration of rainbow babies can come with complicated emotions, as the excitement is often paired with grief. The symbol of a rainbow offers hope and light after a dark time. The origin of the term "rainbow baby" comes from the Shannon L. Adler quote, "After every storm, there is a rainbow."

The day is recognized each year on August 22. The day was founded by Alexis Delchiaro and What The Fertility. Alexis and her husband after they struggled for years with infertility. She chose August 22 as the date because it's the birthday of her daughter, Gianna, who will turn 7 this year.
