If you saw my snapchat & Insta stories this week you will see I'm collaborating with The Baby Box. They are an Ireland brand and are celebrating their first year in business. The idea of the baby box has been around for 75 years in Finland and has now made its way to Ireland. It provides a safe sleeping environment for infants and studies have shown that this tradition has helped Finland to achieve one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world!
The ultimate baby box comes filled to the brim with everything new parents and their newborn baby will need for those hectic first months. The luxurious gift includes a custom designed bed box jam packed with all of a newborn's clothing essential as well as muslin cloths, a blanket and soft toy, a healthcare kit, a hooded towel, a bathrobe and the finest Burt's Bees products.
This truly is the ultimate gift for any new parent and their baby. I throw Mags & Linzi a surprise baby shower last night and they were absolutely thrilled with the Baby Box. Linzi had been doing her research and really wanted one for when their bundle of joy arrived.
Once the baby has outgrown the box, it can be reused as a storage box - perfect for toys, blankets and baby clothes.
Here is everything you need to know about the baby box and why it is recommended for newborns to sleep in. I wish I had've known about the Baby Box when I was expecting, it definitely would have even been top of my wish list. One of the great things about The Baby Box is that in ensures your newborn's safety. All of the baby boxes comply with the internationally recognised safety standard for crib and cradle safety. The entire box has passed rigorous health and safety inspections down to the ink used on the box and the glue used in their production which are all environmentally safe.
The mattresses are firm foam pads which have been independently certified as non-toxic. They have no PBDE flame retardants, no prohibited phthalates, no ozone depletes, no mercury, lead or heavy metals and no formaldehyde. All of the boxes include a firm mattress and a fitted sheet. Experts recommend using the mattress and sheet to reduce the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death.
In addition, The Baby Box will donate 10 life saving vaccination kits through UNICEF Ireland for every Baby Box sold. These vaccination kits will be distributed to the most vulnerable children in the Developing World and will protect these children against Measles, Polio and Tetanus. They have already vaccinated 10,000 babies and children in 3rd world countries.
The Baby Box can be purchased as a stand alone item or filled to the brim with new baby essentials handpicked by the creators. Here is a link to the ultimate baby box that I was showing on my snapchat and I will include a list of everything contained in it if you would like to see. See more about the box here
