What's the low hanging fruit in preventing infant mortality?
It seems like every country suddenly cuts their infant mortality rate by 90%+, not when they truly become developed, but at some point around when they go from $7,000 to $8,000 GDP per capita. And every industrialized country jumped over this same hurdle in the late 19th or early 20th centuries.
So what's the one relatively simple thing that kills the vast majority of babies but humans don't naturally account for? I did some poking around and can't find a straight answer.
