Free box of ‘baby goodies’ for all expectant Ontario parents

Founded in 2016, Baby Box Canada is a non-profit organization providing free baby boxes for expectant parents. The boxes include blankets, toys and other important products for parents and newborns.

“As new parents ourselves, we know how overwhelming it gets, especially when you first bring your baby home,” said Romi Walker, co-founder of Baby Box Canada. “There’s a feeling that you are missing something and you feel completely unprepared — whether it’s an extra blanket, or wipes. We aim to make new parents’ first few days with their infants a little bit easier.”

The first round of boxes, with products collectively valued at over $150, will each include 16 products, including tear-free shampoo and body wash from Burt’s Bees, teethers and a rattle from Fisher Price, saline wipes from Boogie Wipes, Snuggle ‘n Shake Pal from Bright Starts, Blanket from Kushies, Hydrogel Pads from Medela and disposable night breast pads from Philips Avent.
