Bu rhywfaint o ddiddordeb hanesyddol mewn cynlluniauBlwchBabi fel ffordd o wella canlyniadau iechyd ar gyfer babanod hyd at chwe mis oed, yn bennaf o Syndrom Marwolaeth Sydyn Babanod ac arferion cysgu anniogel. Mae'r diddordeb hwn wedi'i ysgogi’n bennaf gan y model traddodiadol o'r Ffindir ond hefyd gan gynlluniau tebyg sy'n cael eu sefydlu mewn rhai ymddiriedolaethau iechyd yn Lloegr a'r cynllun a lansiwyd gan Lywodraeth yr Alban yn 2017. Fodd bynnag, mae'r dystiolaeth o ran effeithiolrwydd y blychau babi yn brin ac mae'n anodd gwahaniaethau rhwng effaith y blychau babi a'r ffactorau eraill sydd wedi lleihau marwolaethau babanod. O ystyried y diffyg tystiolaeth i gefnogi defnyddio blwch babi, rydym yn bwriadu cyflwynobwndelbabi yng Nghymru.
There has been some historic interest in BabyBoxschemes as a means of improving health outcomes for babies up to the age of 6 months – mainly from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and unsafe sleeping practices. This interest was largely generated from the traditional Finnish model but also by similar schemes being established in some health trusts in England and the scheme launched by Scottish Government in 2017. However, evidence for the effectiveness of baby boxes is scarce and it is hard to separate out the impact of baby boxes from other factors that have helped to reduce infant mortality. Given the lack of evidence to support the use of a baby box, we intend to deliver a babybundlein Wales.
