Hard to believe “The concept of baby boxes originated in Finland about 80 years ago and the country’s infant mortality rate is the world’s lowest, at 1.3 deaths per 1,000 births, Philly Voice reported.” and yet so many families had to suffer the heartbreak of SIDS.
Will it be in Spanish, Arabic or English?
Nanny state rum amok.
Compulsory full service pumps.
Now this.
How much more this will add to property tax?
When our Ben was a newborn (27 years ago) we put him in a Smithfield ham basket on the floor next to my side of the bed. When he got restless or was starting to cry, I could sccop him up without getting out of bed, and tuck him in next to me to nurse. After he dropped off from his Mama Milk Sleepydrink, I could just reach over and tuck him back into his ham basket
Easiest thing in the world, and what a happy baby.
Cool! Now include
1. some info about how babies need stimulus for their brains to develop properly (play with the baby), and
2. a copy of the Constitution, including a translation to small words and big print.
That would help empty the prisons.
If you need the state or hospital to provide you with instructions on how to safely raise your child, you shouldn’t be having kids.
In a few years we will start to see stories about an epidemic of pre-schoolers with vision problems in New Jersey.
I guess I just don’t get this. How is a box going to keep your baby from getting SIDS? Is it the draft or what? Isn’t a bassinet just as good?
Dumb male here but what is the difference between a “baby box” and keeping the baby in the lowest dresser drawer (with a little padding)?
Who needs a box? Put them to sleep in their car seat. Kids seem to love them, sleep well in them, and we’re already forced to have them.
In Germany, they used to pay parents 'kindergeld' - payments for having a child. The birth rate at the time was well below the replacement level.
I don't know if they still do this, or if Frau Merkel has extended it to the refugee hordes.
I kinda thought a dresser drawer worked pretty well for this. :-)
