My kids are slightly older. We didn't get a baby box, or a mattress.

I think we kept the stuff our kids were swaddled in when they left, and got an extra blanket or two. There may have been a day's worth of diapers. I believe we got pamphlets on swaddling, feeding, and important dates (check ups, immunizations, etc).

I wasn't expecting anything, so the blankets and diapers were nice, but it didn't feel comprehensive.

The nurse who was supposed to visit us at home after a few weeks didn't make an appointment or show up. That still makes me grumpy.

This was in Ottawa.
