Instant Aid has been working alongside Ukraine’s Office of the First Lady, Ukraine Ministry of Health, Baby2Baby, Ergo Baby, Happiest Baby, Walmart’s Good360, Carry The Future, and Project C.U.R.E to provide comprehensive "infant packages” for new mothers in Ukraine.
Instant Aid delivered the largest supply of infant donations from the US since the war began.

Through our generous donors, we will be delivering $1,000,000 of in-kind infant supplies to support mothers and newborns in Ukraine. A special thanks to Baby2Baby for donating 1 million diapers and thousands of additional essential items including soap and clothing. Ergo Baby for donating 150 infant carriers, Happiest Baby for donating 2500 bodysuits; Carry the future for donating 6000 diapers and 144 baby carriers; Good 360 for donating 5 pallets worth of breast milk bags; and Project C.U.R.E for donating the air freight for this project. The packages have been prepared in the US by Baby2Baby with the help of Happiest Baby staff.
We ran a pilot program in May 2022. The pilot provided similar “infant packages” directly to expecting new mothers in hospitals. Each package contains the critical items needed to support a newborn’s healthy growth and development in the first four weeks of life. These packages offer so much more than the material items as they also minimize the physical, financial, and emotional stresses of mothers fleeing war.
Each infant package will include:
- 200 Diapers
- 320 Wipes
- 2 Rash Creams
- 1 Pacifier
- 1 Swaddle Blanket
- 3 Short-sleeve Onesies
- 2 Long-sleeve Onesies
- 2 Footie Pajamas
- Baby Wash + Moisturizer
