What's In The Finnish Maternity Package?

Finland is famous for this Kela maternity package which every child in Finland is entitled to (some residence permits/visas might not) it's free and delivered to your nearest post office about 1 month prior to your due date. The box itself (not shown) is sturdy and can be used as a crib while you decide on co-sleeping or getting a crib. (So sturdy we used it to move dishes last time we moved! grin emoticon ) This has also significantly reduced SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) as well. As well, this maternity package ensures each child gets an equal foot in the world from the moment they're born - because the box is as gender neutral as possible and contains the same items in every box. Every year the designs may change - but the basics (i.e. clothing, personal care items and so on) remain the same. And you're able to buy these online from here: http://www.finnishbabybox.co/ There's also a tooth brush and hair brush and in the hospital you get a basic diaper bag filled with disposables, wipes, information and a small toy.

(But the box goodies are worth MUCH more than 140€ - so to each their own!) Thanks for watching and have an awesome day! smile emoticon BIMU PS Fun fact: Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Duchess Kate Middleton also received one of these as gifts for each of their first born.
