Mums of all Scottish newborn babies are set to receive a free baby book from UNICEF as part of the Glasgow 2014 legacy ambitions to improve the wellbeing of children in Scotland. The book, Baby, I Love You, was launched on Friday as part of UNICEF’s partnership with Glasgow 2014, which aims to reach every child in Scotland and children across the Commonwealth. It has been designed by UNICEF, the world’s leading children’s organisation, to help build loving and nurturing relationships between new parents and their baby, through encouraging skin contact, holding, stroking, playing and singing. UNICEF Ambassador Ewan McGregor, himself a father of four, has recorded an audio version of the book. He said: “UNICEF’s Baby, I Love You book is a fantastic gift to kids in Scotland and their mums and dads. “Momentous sporting events have the power to really transform kids’ lives over the long-term. It’s great that UNICEF’s baby book supports the special bond between parent and child, and will be part of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games legacy.” Mums and babies at a drop in centre in Glasgow were joined by Scotland’s Children’s Commissioner Tam Baillie, Dr Kate McKay Senior Medical Officer for the Scottish Government and David Grevemberg, Chief Executive of Glasgow 2014 for the launch.
