Baby basket may sound like a weird one without context if you're not already familiar with them, but I assume he's talking about a maternity package, or "baby box" which is a wildly successful program in Finland and other parts of Europe. It's a cardboard box filled with baby supplies, and the box itself doubles as their first crib. It's not legal in the US ostensibly because of the cardboard, but functionally cuz we like to punish women every chance we get. Anyway, being cardboard causes literally zero problems, they help to prevent SIDS, and they're cheap.
We should have been doing this for ages.
How does it being cardboard help prevent sids?
They are two separate clauses i think
cardboard causes no problems
the cribs help prevent SIDS
I did a quick search and found this:

So its not about the cardboard, its about the makeup of the crib itself
Gotcha, phrasing was confusing.
I think he meant having a crib helps, not it being made out of cardboard.
Babies like pretending to be homeless
Who's Sid?
Not a funny joke
I asked who's Sid, not who's not. Your not funny reply didn't help.
Turns out it's a syndrome.
