Dr Catherine Calderwood, chief medical officer for Scotland, has said that parents should be thinking about safe sleeping practices before their baby is even born.
“It is important parents make the safe sleeping choice that is right for them, and anyone needing more information should speak to their health visitor or midwife," she said.
The baby boxes are to be offered to all new mothers across Scotland.
They will be rolled out this week as part of a voluntary opt-in scheme which will see over 58,000 new mums receive the boxes for free.
A similar scheme has been running in Finland since the 1930s. Once it was introduced, the country saw their infant mortality rates drop considerably.Explore more on these topics:
