baby box

Newborn sleeping carton

A baby box is a padded container, often made of cardboard, provided to new parents as a starter kit containing infant supplies—clothes, diapers, blankets, and care items.

The box itself doubles as a safe sleeping space.

Originating in Finland, baby box programs have spread as public health initiatives to reduce infant mortality and support new families.
