New parents could receive a baby box

By Hicbd

As shown in Finland, which has one of the lowest rates of infant mortality, expectant parents can choose to receive the box, which contains bodysuits, a sleeping bag, outdoor gear, bathing products for the baby, as well as nappies, bedding and a small mattress which becomes a crib when put into the box, or a small cash grant. In order to receive the box, parents must visit a doctor before their fourth month of pregnancy.

Darren I think the small cash grant should be done away with. Goodness knows how many parent/s out there that claim child support only to spend it on alcohol and smoking.
