The Origin of Baby Boxes: The concept of baby boxes first emerged in Finland during the 1930s as part of the Maternity Grants Act of 1937. This legislation was a response to an alarmingly high infant mortality rate, with nearly one in ten children dying before their first birthday. Initially, these boxes were designated for low-income mothers. However, over the years, Finland’s infant mortality rate, like that of many countries worldwide, significantly decreased, currently standing at only 2 deaths per 1,000 live births. The baby boxes were a vital part of this decline, providing a safe sleeping environment for babies, allowing them to rest on their backs and breathe freely. From a smoke free and pet free home.
