Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes
For 75 years, Finland’s expectant mothers have been given a box by the state. It’s like a starter kit of clothes, sheets and toys that can even be used as a bed. And some say it helped Finland achieve one of the world’s lowest infant mortality rates.
It’s a tradition that dates back to the 1930s and it’s designed to give all children in Finland, no matter what background they’re from, an equal start in life.
The maternity package - a gift from the government - is available to all expectant mothers.
It contains bodysuits, a sleeping bag, outdoor gear, bathing products for the baby, as well as nappies, bedding and a small mattress.
With the mattress in the bottom, the box becomes a baby’s first bed. Many children, from all social backgrounds, have their first naps within the safety of the box’s four cardboard walls.
Mothers have a choice between taking the box, or a cash grant, currently set at 140 euros, but 95% opt for the box as it’s worth much more.
The tradition dates back to 1938. To begin with, the scheme was only available to families on low incomes, but that changed in 1949.

Socialism at work.
I would rather my tax money pay for this than drone missiles.
Feeling like tomorrow will be one of those mornings where you wake up and realize what a fucking failure you are.
Fuck looking like an adult-sized prepubescent, esp if it’s been foisted upon you by a 1920s advertising campaign.

OH MY GOD
SHE HAS MORE ARM HAIR THAN ME WHAT THE FUCK
UNSEE UNSSEEEEE
UNSeEE
You know, it really depends on the woman as to how much underarm hair is unattractive. I believe women should have the freedom to shave or not to shave. Shaming her over how much hair she has isn’t really productive IMHO. Just try NOT to be Chewbacca and keep it sanitary and stuff.
They have the right to shave or let their underarm hair grow to their knees, but everyone else has the right to a preference.
