For 75 years Finland has been issuing mums to be with a cardboard box for a good start in life!

The boxes are reward for presenting yourself to a midwife by the fourth month of pregnancy, and offer a basic kit- and with the mattress, even a bed for the first few months of life!
I think it’s an excellent idea- and would ensure everyone has the right start in life.
These measures help keep the infant mortality rate low and ensure that every pregnant women has the right equipment to start life as a Mum.
Congratulations Finland!
