The contents for Scotland's Baby Box has been confirmed as registration for the rollout begins.
The initiative will see all babies on, or after 15 August 2017, receive a box of essential items to support parents and promote a fair and equal start for all children in Scotland.
Mark McDonald, Minister for Childcare and Early Years, said: "The feedback we have had from the Baby Box pilot has been extremely useful in our planning for nationwide delivery.
"As a result we are now providing information at initial midwife appointments, registration is taking place earlier and delivery is also being brought forward to allow parents more time to familiarise themselves with the box before their baby is born.
"The research also showed that the idea of the box was widely welcomed although there were differing views on whether it should be targeted at specific groups such as low income families or first time parents.
"It is great to see that the pilot findings confirm parents were generally extremely positive about the quality and range of the contents of the Baby Box."
