Another friend of mine gave me the snowsuit and a few other items from her Finnish box and it is really lovely and a great quality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-1276430 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 13:02:43 +0000 mediagirl 1276430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still think this is so cool! Amazing that the government provides these. Such a great idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-1276424 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 13:01:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1276424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I missed this from a while ago but its a great read! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-1276375 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 12:44:42 +0000 mrsjyw 1276375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>great story!!!! that box is amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-1276366 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 12:41:26 +0000 CristyCritters 1276366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's quite a care package they are giving away. And they've been doing it for 75 years. More than just clothing for the baby, they have quite a few accessories as well. And nothing goes to waste. Even the box serves several purposes. I read somewhere that using a box as a crib is safer than leaving a baby on a bed. I think I now have use for some of the extra <a href="http://www.papermart.com/Home.aspx">papermart</a> boxes I have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-838132 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 21:42:18 +0000 tysonja 838132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love that it really looks like there is some quality stuff in the box. also it really *does* seem like enough for a small baby to go on for a while! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-838112 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 21:37:56 +0000 MrsScallop 838112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this story! I especially liked the part about how all babies are born equal this way. Such a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-838011 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 21:03:48 +0000 rattles 838011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the bit about babies being born in the same year being identifiable by the fact that they have the same clothes from their boxes. Something about that strikes me as so sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-837989 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 20:59:16 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 837989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love that! I'm pleased to say that we recently found out that my family is 6% Finnish. Can I have my box please? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-837983 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 20:58:09 +0000 lovehoneybee 837983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read this story yesterday, what a great thing to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-837979 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 20:56:53 +0000 Sadieloo 837979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such a great story. Wy is the US so behind? The government should mandate that one parent stay home with a baby for at least the first 3 months. A cardboard box with essentials is a great idea too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-837753 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 20:19:03 +0000 ohapostrophe 837753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want one!! The Finnish government should sell them online ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-837713 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 20:14:14 +0000 Honeybee 837713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a beautiful story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-837615 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 20:00:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 837615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so cool! and wow that stuff is adorable - and it's A LOT of stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-837557 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 19:52:08 +0000 MsInformation 837557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This story was awesome! DH is 1/2 Finnish - if only we had LO there, we could have scored this amazing box with cute clothing and cloth diapers. A cousin of his who lives near Helsinki had a baby not too long ago. I should ask them about their box! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-837052 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 18:22:34 +0000 tysonja 837052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: thanks!! nice colours!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-836999 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 18:08:03 +0000 SugarplumsMom 836999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found a picture on a Swedish site:<br /> <a href="http://www.finland.se/Public/default.aspx?contentid=256095&#038;nodeid=36125&#038;culture=sv-FI" rel="nofollow">http://www.finland.se/Public/default.aspx?contentid=256095&#038;nodeid=36125&#038;culture=sv-FI</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-836947 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 17:55:20 +0000 ALV91711 836947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finnish-babies-and-sleeping-in-cardboard-boxes#post-836910 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 17:40:42 +0000 katsupgirl 836910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am crazy obsessed with all things Finnish.

It describes the government program in Finland that gives a box full of baby items to every baby who is born (you recieve it before baby is born). I would love to see a picture of all the items included! </p> <p><a href="http://updatednews.ca/2013/06/03/why-finnish-babies-moslty-sleep-in-cardboard-boxes/" rel="nofollow">http://updatednews.ca/2013/06/03/why-finnish-babies-moslty-sleep-in-cardboard-boxes/</a> </p>
