QUARTER OF A MILLION BABY BOXES DELIVERED ACROSS SCOTLAND


Across Ayrshire & Arran 15,183 baby boxes have been delivered since the scheme’s inception – and more 250,560 throughout Scotland.


The SNP Government introduced the Baby Box in 2017, entitling every newborn in Scotland to a box containing essential items intended to make sure that every child has the best possible start in life.


The estimated cost of items provided in the Baby Box is approximately £429.

I am delighted that this milestone has been reached.


Providing essential items needed for the first six months of their child’s life is a particularly important gift to new parents when household budgets are under increasing pressure with the cost-of-living crisis.
