The US is soooo good at the medical save for babies! Thank you for the cite, rayiner, as it illuminates something done relatively well here.
The Finnish baby box system has received a lot of press in the US. Americans think, oh, safe sleep, it'll reduce SIDS/SUID. While that may be true, the whole scam in Finland (since 1949) was that you only got a box if you went to your new free prenatal appointments! Can you imagine the US saying, hey, we'll give all moms & babies cute free stuff if you take advantage of prenatal care! The current situation is rather different.
