Addendum

In 2024, Ukraine updated the contents of this box. The updated Baby Box includes products that are in demand, such as reusable moisture-resistant diapers and warm clothes. We also increased the size of the blanket and reduced the number of small clothes that babies quickly outgrow.

In addition, we added the book "From Birth to One Year," which was developed and printed by the Ministry's partners, UNICEF. This is a practical guide for all parents of newborns, which contains the best of international experience and advice from Ukrainian experts.

Recall

You can receive a Baby Box at the maternity hospital after the birth of your child. If the baby box is not available at that time, you can apply for it within 30 calendar days from the date of birth: to the social welfare authorities or to the Center for the Provision of Administrative Services at your place of residence or stay. The application must also be accompanied by a copy of the child's birth certificate.
