Has anyone else read this?
Just wondering what your thoughts are really! I think it's a great thing, and a really good start for a baby to have in life.
Do you think anything like that would be feasible in this country? I'm not sure the government would ever be able to make it work to be honest! They aren't very good at budgeting

For all those babies?
I suppose some people do, but if you don't have many people around you or you're from a poorer background you might not.
I just think it's nice that EVERY baby gets the same, no matter what their background.
You often get a bag of free condoms if you give birth in a UK hospital.
As if a tiny, wailing, vomitous shit-producer on a 20-minute sleep cycle wasn't contraception enough.

On a side note, did you see the article about putting the babies outside to sleep. Apparently it is very popular. Baby goes outside to sleep, parent gets coffee! Good deal! Though in this country I think the baby would be stolen....
I'm not sure why anyone would want to steal a screaming poop and vomit machine.
