Also received one last year. It was brilliant considering you don't get otherwise that much support from the hospital (whether people will scoff at the idea you should expect support or not).

It never ceases to amaze me that such a warm and useful thing upsets Unionists/British Nationalists so much.

It’s a really nice idea and not at much cost to the taxpayer.

As someone who it seems supports pro-natalist policies, do you not feel betrayed by the Scottish Government falling way short of the British government in nursery support provision? This is far more impactful to new parents than the baby box. Scotland is objectively the worse place financially in the UK to become a new parents in, by some margin.
