GOOD BABY BOX PRENATAL REGISTRATION
Anyone hoping to order a Good Baby Box must register their children with the program.
“The affordability of being able to purchase formula and baby supplies at reduced cost has been infinitely helpful when managing money costs while on maternity leave. As a young family, balancing a mortgage payment, vehicles and the ever rising cost of hydro, food and daycare–the Good Baby Box has helped us ensure our children are receiving the best nutrition, as well as essential needs”
We are a dual income family and still find it a struggle to keep up with the cost of living. The Good Baby Box program has been a tremendous support to our family. Every week I purchase two Good Baby Boxes. These boxes provide the basic needs for my infants: diapers, wipes, and infant formula."
“I am a single mother of two and my youngest is 3 months old. The cost of having two small children on my own is costly but this program allows me to be able to adhere to my babies needs and save at the same time.”
