FAQs

To comfort babies during hospital treatment, we give curated boxes of helpful items, toys, books, music, and personalized decorations. We also provide supportive items for the infant’s primary caregiver.

Our Foxboxes support the unique social, emotional, developmental, and educational milestones infants experience through their first year of life.

Families are referred to Foxbox through their children’s hospital during their admission. We work directly with Child Life Specialists to connect with families and deliver donations to hospitals.

Babies with an anticipated hospital admission of three weeks or longer qualify for a Baby Box. Babies in the PICU with an anticipated stay of one week or longer qualify for a PICU Box. Caregivers are supported in the PICU just as they are on other floors.

During our own experience living in a children’s hospital, we learned that incredibly important things were unavailable. Even simple things like feeding spoons were impossible to find.

Hospital donations for infants are rare. Foxbox focuses on ages 0–12 months because there is a significant need for infant-specific support.

We tailor every Baby Box to each baby’s personality and developmental needs. We include age-appropriate toys, books, and comfort items based on feedback families provide when they request a box.

We include high-quality brands that can withstand the constant cleaning and moving required by hospitalized families, including Ergobaby, Baby Tula, Munchkin, Baby Einstein, Bright Starts, YETI, Angel Dear, BabyBjörn, Skip Hop, and others.

Families of infants with expected hospital admissions of three weeks or longer, or a PICU admission of one week or longer. We support all diagnoses and units except Neonatal Intensive Care Units.
