Meanwhile Scotland’s Baby Box uptake level reaches 96%! Link and snippets from news.gov.scot site below:
https://news.gov.scot/news/new-look-baby-box-ready-for-mothers-day
Uptake jumps to 96% as 80,000 deliveries made to parents.
The new Baby Box design, created by a team of children and young people, has been unveiled.
The new design features iconic landmarks such as Ben Nevis, Glenfinnan Viaduct and Edinburgh Castle.
It comes as research shows that 80,873 Baby Boxes have been delivered since they were launched in August 2017, when demand was 85%. In the third quarter of 2018, demand for Baby Boxes from expectant parents soared to 96%.
In addition to the redesign, the box will encourage families to become more environmentally friendly, with parents-to-be receiving a voucher for a reusable cloth nappy and liners from Glasgow-based company Tots Bots.
Scotland’s Baby Box contains a selection of clothes from newborn up to the age of six months, as well as every day must-haves, like a bath towel, a travel changing mat, muslin cloth squares, a bib and a digital thermometer. Every Baby Box also comes with a number of books which parents and children can read together.
Maybe Jenny Marra’s ‘Bumper Book of NHS Scotland (fictional) Tales of Gloom and Horror’ will be included in the books?

This news about baby boxes must surely lead to another phone in for Kaye Adams to kick baby boxes to pieces based on the opinion ‘expert’ in packaging, who is childless.
