I love this and wish it were a more widespread practice.
Baseline education of infant care is difficult for low income families. There's just too much to deal with.
A cardboard box will appear crude to many, especially those of higher income, but the cardboard box removes a lot of the guess work about what's allowed in while sleeping - which is essentially nothing.
Anyone who's had an infant before - there's too much conflicting information and it's downright scary because it's difficult to know what's right/wrong. I love this establishes a clear baseline.

- philliphaydon 7y agoWhen my Daughter was born everything said do not let the baby lay on their side or tummy. I tried hard but she turned to her side every time you put her down. If she was on her back she would wake and cry. I spoke to my mum and she said when I was a baby I slept on my tummy, as did my brother and sister. None of us slept on our side or back. We just made sure we bought a breathable mattress so if she ended up face down she could breath. Now she’s almost 1 and sleeps however she feels. Which is usually cuddled up against me while I feel stressed all night.
