Starting the week of October 30th the Baby Box will be available to every mom expecting between October 1st, 2016 – October 1st, 2017 across Alberta!

The purpose of the Baby Box is to provide a safe sleep space for all infants regardless of socioeconomic status and to engage as many parents as possible in our supportive community. 

Getting your Baby Box is easy and can be done in 3 simple steps.

Step 1 – Register for Baby Box University

In a few simple steps, you can register online here. Pick the Alberta syllabus and you’re on your way! 

Step 2 – Get your completion certificate

You will need to watch 8 videos that are 10-12 minutes in length to receive your certificate. Topics include Postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, SIDS, and more. Once you finish all of the videos your certificate will be emailed to you. 

Step 3 – Pick up your Baby Box

In Edmonton, the pick-up location is the Jasper Place Child and Family Resource Centre/West Edmonton Parent Link. There are several locations registered across Alberta. You can view the places across Alberta here. (Make sure you check the hours of operation before you pick up your Baby Box)
