How to mitigate high infant mortality rates in a space colony

Judging by the majority of answers from this question: What would be a logical reason to explain space based families having more children than an earth based one the spacers are going to have lots of kids, but also high infant mortality, due to low gravity development issues. For simplicity let's say the average IMR is 19.

The fifth Hegemon is appalled at such rates and refuses to go down in history as the Hegemon with all the dead spacer babies (although later on she has to enforce birth credits on the more static colonies like Luna). What solutions, engineering, or technology that would help lower the IMR and raise the life expectancy of spacer children?

Note:

• tech such as artificial wombs is doable
• the goal is least deaths possible seeing as the Hegemony is big on valuing human life.
• The Hegemony/Companies that built the colonies have health care plans in place albeit they don't have all the benefits they would on earth.
