The Baby Box

In Finland, parents are given by the state a baby box complete with a mattress, clothing and basically everything a baby could need. This is to ensure all children get an equal start in life despite social background.

Here in Norway, while parents don't receive a governmental baby box, parents can however, go to various websites and order free baby boxes which have coupons and free samples. The samples include things like diapers, wipes, diaper cream, hand sanitizer, baby laundry detergent, a coupon for a onesie, pacifiers, bibs, socks, lotion and many other baby related necessities.

I have recently picked up 2 baby boxes and a diaper disposal.



A list of the sites can be found here:
www.bam.no
www.libero.no
www.barnashus.no - you can sign up for a diaper disposal here
www.apotek1.no - you can pick up a baby box at your local pharmacy
www.vitusapotek.no - you can pick up at your local pharmacy
www.rimi.no
www.babybox.no

Hi, I will be visiting Oslo next month. Would it be possible for me to pick up one of these baby boxes at the pharmacy while there, even though I am only visiting? Is there a particular name for them, other than baby box? Thank you so much.
