| Not as many babies and young children die now because mothers and children get much better nutrition and health care. |
In the quote, I think it natural if there is no 'as'. But I'm not sure.
Can you let me know?
Thanks. |

With the "as," the sentence means that fewer babies and children than before die now. Without the "as," it means that few babies and children die. But either way, the sentence would be natural.
