MOTHERS of all Scottish newborn babies are get a free baby book from Commonwealth Games sponsor UNICEF as part of the Glasgow 2014 legacy to improve children's wellbeing.
The publication, Baby, I Love You, was launched yesterday and aims to reach every child in Scotland and across the Commonwealth.
It is designed by UNICEF, the world's leading children's organisation, to help build loving and nurturing relationships between new parents and their babies.
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.
The mums were given a sneak preview of the book, funded by money raised through the ground-breaking partnership between UNICEF and Glasgow 2014.
The campaign will culminate in a single world-wide fundraising moment at the Games Opening Ceremony on 23 July, when all the expected one billion viewers will be invited to make a donation to Put Children First.
