Me too, for sure. I wish the US would at least hand you a card that says "breastfeeding is not birth control. Please be responsible unless you want to visit again in 9 months."</p> <p>Ive seen this a couple times on Reddit and I think it's really neat. We got a bunch of stuff when I was pregnant through a program for overseas military families called Bundles for Babies. It had crib sheets, towels, washcloths, burp cloths, bibs, a blanket, and some basic onesies and pants. All of it was gender neutral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-finnish-babies-sleep-in-boxes#post-2055727 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:52:46 +0000 snowjewelz 2055727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is awesome! And in the mean time in the US.. I feel like I'm being punished for having baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-finnish-babies-sleep-in-boxes#post-2055723 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:49:43 +0000 Mommy Finger 2055723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love that it includes condoms. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-finnish-babies-sleep-in-boxes#post-2055709 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:41:41 +0000 .twist. 2055709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read this article when it first came about. It totally fascinated me and made me kinda want to move to Finland (that and having known people who live there and hearing about their schooling/politics/general religious stance). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-finnish-babies-sleep-in-boxes#post-2055633 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:05:11 +0000 LovelyPlum 2055633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So cool!

We have all come a long way in terms of knowing what's good and safe for babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-finnish-babies-sleep-in-boxes#post-2055117 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 03:18:25 +0000 littlejoy 2055117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for sharing -- That was a great read!</p> <p>@lamariniere: That's so cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-finnish-babies-sleep-in-boxes#post-2055110 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 02:34:27 +0000 lamariniere 2055110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two of my friends are married to Finns and both received the baby boxes and both of their babies slept in the boxes for the first few weeks.
