Russell Medical recently embarked on a new initiative distributing free Baby Boxes, developed by the company Baby Box Co., to new parents. The boxes are decorated in a whimsical manner and given to new moms at discharge.

Each box contains diapers, wipes, a gown and coupons for various items.  But the most important part is the box itself. Each box also comes with a firm mattress pad that allows the box to be turned into a basic, but safe, bed for infants until they are able to roll over.
