Did you guys see this BBC article circulating the other day? Rookie mom Yasmeen in Pune, India sent it to us. Thanks, Yasmeen!
Pregnant women in Finland get a starter set from the government that includes this big box, appropriate as a newborn sleeping station (includes a mattress), packed with infant necessities from chilly weather condition garments to bathing products. whatever in the box is gender neutral, as well as it saves the expectant parents money in addition to the stress connected with making a lot of purchase decisions.
How wonderful for each infant in the country to be offered the exact same begin in life, down to the exact same hooded bath towel. A father quoted in the article even says, “…when I see good friends with young kids it’s nice to see we share some typical things. It strengthens that feeling that we are all in this together.”
Question for you: Did you enjoy buying for as well as choosing all the things you needed to prepare for infant or would you prefer to have a magic box handed to you by the state?
