Scotland to follow Scandinavia’s lead and gift all new babies with a starter kit

Thankfully babies born in Scotland are going to be given a helping hand with the must-need paraphernalia. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has announced that from New Year’s Day 2017, Scottish parents will be gifted “baby boxes”. In Finland, the boxes, which contain around 80 useful items including baby clothes and nappies as well as an actual space for a baby to sleep in, have been credited with cutting infant mortality.
