They prayed to Artemis when they were going to war and/or hunting (becuase she was Goddess of The Hunt). They would also pray to her for a healthy child and a sucsessful birth (as she was the Goddess of child birth as well)
Birth of Apollo (in which Artemis assisted Leto, her mother: Apollo proved to be her ally and equal and few think of Artemis without Apollo)
They say that Artemis and Apollo were born in different islands but the island were close...Artemis was born and she helped her mother,Leto, to born Apollo.
Artemis was born on Ortygia, and traveled with Leto so she could give birth on rocky Delos. They then went to Olympus.
I have never heard of a Greek myth that retells such a happening; Artemis was associated with bears and the birth of a child/young animal. This might be a confusion over the raising of Atalanta who was suckled by a bear and was the favorite of Artemis.
The month of Artemis's birth is not told in Greek myth.
Aphrodite did not have a birth and infancy within mythology, she emerged fully grown from the sea.
Artemis was immortal from her birth. Artemis was born of the god Zeus and the goddess Leto. The twin of Artemis is Apollo.

Infancy is the time frame for birth to walking. Then it is toddler. Babyhood can last a full lifetime.
Leto gave birth to Artemis, and Artemis is a goddess of childbirth, protecting the child as it is born and if it is a girl she protects it until she is married, if a boy, Apollo protects the boy until marriage.
Artemis was born on the island of Delos. After her birth she helped her mother give birth to her younger twin brother, Apollo.
Artemis is the goddess protector of the child during birth; birth itself is the domain of Eileithyia, and Hera is the protector of the mother during birth.

It is said that Apollo came immediatly after Artemis.
Artemis is the daughter of Zeus: Hera is the wife of Zeus, and was married to Zeus at the time of Artemis' birth - so, yes, Hera is the step-mother of Artemis.
Artemis aided her mother Leto in the birth of her twin brother Apollo.
