In 2025, families welcoming a new child will still be able to receive financial compensation for the one-time natural assistance known as the «baby bundle».

This financial aid is a one-time payment for each live-born child to purchase various baby products, including hygiene items, clothing, footwear, food, toys, and textiles for children such as towels and blankets, as well as strollers and baby baths.

The compensation is available to parents of newborns, and in their absence, to foster carers, adoptive parents, or guardians, provided in a cashless form by transferring funds to a special account in a bank participating in the monetization of the «baby bundle». A list of such banks is published on the official website of the State Service for Children.

The amount of compensation equals three living minimums for children under six years old, as established by law at the time of the child's birth. Starting January 1, 2025, this amount will be 7689 UAH.

Recipients can apply for financial compensation:

• in person by submitting a paper application to the social protection authority;
• via postal correspondence in written form;
• electronically by submitting a birth registration application during the provision of the comprehensive electronic public service «eBaby».

Compensation is granted if the application is submitted no later than 12 months after the child's birth.

Within a year of the funds being credited to the special account in an authorized bank, the recipient can use the compensation to purchase baby products at stores participating in the «baby bundle» program. The list of participating stores is available on the official website of the Ministry of Social Policy.

Additionally, the natural assistance «baby bundle» is available for parents and newborns, containing over 50 essential baby items. In 2025, the bundle includes new popular items like reusable waterproof diapers and warm clothing. The size of the blanket has increased while the amount of the smallest clothing has decreased. Furthermore, a book titled «From Birth to One Year», developed by UNICEF, has been added to the new bundle, offering practical advice for all newborn parents.
