What happened to baby boxes?

When I had my ds, we got a baby box from baby box university. Alas we got rid of it pretty fast once outgrown. Now I need to find another as I loved it, and I'm struggling. Has anyone found one recently anywhere? The baby box university website for the uk doesnt seem to load?

I had one with my first send ttued the saje as you. I guess baby box uni don't do them now. I bought one online for my now newborn, for about 30quid. Maybe John Lewis, I think.

Thanks for the links! The classes in the second are only open to US or Canada sadly. I shall definitely keep the first link saved though thanks!

I asked my midwife when pregnant and was told ‘women in affluent areas don’t usually ask for them’ and that was that! It was the height of lockdown and I couldn’t be bothered chasing further but I was told the children’s centre should be able to get one in if I wanted one. It’s worth asking your local one

Oh that's so sad!

Great tip about asking at the children's centre - although ours still has not opened and is rumoured to be closing, although they're not giving out any information. I will speak to my midwife.

I guess the alternative is moses baskets? But they're all so frilly and fussy, and a fair bit heavier I imagine?
