Parliamentary Reply by Minister Indranee Rajah on Permanently Introducing a Baby Gift Initiative

6 November 2025

The Government has no plans to make the SG60 Baby Gift permanent, as such gifts are meant to mark special milestones in Singapore's journey. Existing support includes the Baby Bonus Cash Gift of up to $13,000 and the new Large Families Scheme offering annual LifeSG Credits for eligible families.

FIFTEENTH PARLIAMENT OF SINGAPORE

ORAL REPLY 

THURSDAY, 6 NOVEMBER 2025

Ms Valerie Lee:

To ask the Prime Minister and Minister for Finance whether the Ministry will consider permanently introducing a baby gift, similar to Singapore’s SG60 Baby Gift and Finland’s Baby Box Scheme, to support new parents with parenting essentials.

Ms Indranee Rajah (for the Prime Minister):

The SG60 Baby Gift is an initiative to commemorate Singapore’s 60th year of independence. There are currently no plans to introduce such gifts on a permanent basis as the purpose of these gifts is to mark special milestones in our nation’s journey. However, we will continue to review how we can celebrate and support families.

We have enhanced and introduced new measures in the Marriage and Parenthood package over the years to provide greater financial support for parents.  For instance, parents have flexibility in using the Baby Bonus Cash Gift, which ranges from $11,000 for the first and second child, to $13,000 for the third and subsequent children, to purchase baby essentials. We have also introduced the Large Families Scheme, under which parents with three or more children will receive $1,000 of Large Family LifeSG Credits each year for every third and subsequent Singapore Citizen child, from the year that the child turns one to the year that the child turns six.

The Government remains committed to promoting marriage and parenthood, and we will continue to review our policies to ensure they remain relevant in supporting parents.
