i'd say the odds are very low for private practices. if you wanted to work in a hospital, however, the odds would definitely increase.
Ok first kids are not usually, pediatricians so not very frequently.
Second here is the real answer from the CDC for the USA, it covers infants.
Examples of Important Disparities
Infant mortality among African Americans in 2000 occurred at a rate of 14.1 deaths per 1,000 live births.2 This is more than twice the national average of 6.9 deaths per 1,000 live births. The leading causes of infant death include congenital abnormalities, pre-term/low birth weight, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), problems related to complications of pregnancy, and respiratory distress syndrome.3 SIDS deaths among American Indian and Alaska Natives is 2.3 times the rate for non-Hispanic white mothers.4
