Mollie Young, from Newport, will be the first expectant mum to receive a baby bundle on 2 Febuary, hand-delivered by Minister for Children and Social Care, Dawn Bowden.
Mollie said: “I was surprised when my midwife told me I could get a parcel of baby clothes and other items before the baby arrives.
“It’s a fantastic idea and a real practical help.”
The baby bundles will be available to those in Flying Start catchment areas – a Welsh government programme which targets disadvantaged communities – and contains essential items to support new parents and their babies.
Eligible families can register for one through their midwife, with the bundles delivered between 32 and 34 weeks of pregnancy.
All newborns in Scotland are entitled to a box of essentials, including a mattress and sheets, regardless of parental income or postcode.
