For more than 75 years, Finland’s expectant mothers have been given a Baby Box by the state that serves as a starter kit for their new baby. It contains clothes, blankets, and other newborn necessities, and the Baby Box itself (which is lined with a mattress) is used as the child’s first bed.
Finland’s best design idea has now made it’s way to the USA. On March 10, Ohio will become the second state to launch a Baby Box Universal Safe Sleep Program where ALL expecting and new Ohio parents will receive a FREE Baby Box by completing online parenting education.
Baby Boxes can also be purchased online here.
