Don't forget that the increased quality of health care, general quality of life, and new scientific knowledge also contributed to bring the infant mortality rates down.
If you think this is good and important, start a program doing this in your community. Solicit donations and volunteers to pack the boxes. Maybe some local businesses will even kick in with free items as part of their local outreach. Several stores in my city have budget for that stuff, and will give something to nearly anyone who asks.
Or, sit around and complain that someone else (an individual, group or the government) should do it. If that's your choice, be honest with yourself and with everyone else that it wasn't actually all THAT important to you.
It bugged me and a bunch of other people that there's a wheelchair program to get one to people who need one, but those people often get stuck in their homes due to anywhere from a single step to a two story staircase. This group builds wheelchair ramps for free for these people, and the materials are discounted by local lumber yards and paid for by the people in the group plus a couple churches. So, you CAN do something.

Everything the state gifts was taken from the hands of the people by implied force, thank the generosity of those working 90 hours/week and losing thousands to taxation.
The rarity of Pepes has been greatly lowered due to inflation, especially with the advent of tumblr and their high yield meme plantations. Pacha edits and Overwatch memes are a far superior product, with their high variety, good value, and low inflation rate.
