I think it's a nice gesture. Finland and the other Scandinavian countries seem to be the place to raise kids. For those of you saying that the boxes are not free, you are correct. However maybe you didn't read the part where the mother has a choice to take money instead. So in essence you are getting the miniscule amount of your tax dollars back that would be spent on the box. Then if you don't want the gift, you get to choose what to spend the money on. I'd much rather get that box or take the money over getting free Nestle crap here in N. America!

Of course mothers who do CIO are not bad mothers. But I still have to disagree with the idea that just because CIO usually is only done for a week or so, for minutes at a time, it is not harmful.
If listening to your baby cry is stressful, isn't that a big clue for you?
Do you let your baby cry during the day if she needs you? Why is night time so different.
Also, it's not really self soothing, it's more like emotional defeat.
Not judging anyone here. But it is pretty evident to me that CIO, for any amount of time is harmful.

oh and CIO does make your baby sleep through the night. They eventually give up hope that they are going to get thier needs met and thus begins the loss of trust......
Of course people who let thier babies CIO love thier children, they are just grossely underinformed and have let thier instincts be overidden by what modern, me-first, american society has told them!

So sad! What ever happened to following your instincts. If it is so hard to let your baby cry that you need a device to help you "be strong", then why would you do it? Babies only cry when they need something, even if it is just to be held. It's normal to be sleep deprived when you have a baby! But when you become a parent, you make sacrifices for the benifit of this child that YOU brought into the world!
And CIO has been proven to be harmful to a baby's developing brain.
