Did you know that the infant mortality in Finland is the lowest in the world? Every Finnish expectant mother receives, free of charge, a box filled with the following items: Mattress, mattress cover, undersheet, duvet cover, blanket, sleeping bag/quilt. The box itself doubles as a crib Snowsuit, hat, insulated mittens, and booties. Light, hooded suit and knitted overalls. Socks and mittens, knitted hat and balaclava. Bodysuits, romper suits, and leggings in unisex colors and patterns. Hooded bath towel, nail scissors, hairbrush, toothbrush, bath thermometer, nappy cream, washcloth. Cloth nappy set and muslin squares. Picture book and teething toy. Bra pads, condoms.
“There was a recent report saying that Finnish mums are the happiest in the world, and the box was one thing that came to my mind. We are very well taken care of, even now when some public services have been cut down a little,” Titta Vayrynen, a 35-year-old mother of two boys says.
