    No link to freebies but just a free bit of advice, befor baby is born have numbers for breast feeding 'counciler' (midwife will have them, these ladies know everything there is to know,worth their weight in gold..and of course free) also
    https://www.kellymom.com a website worth its weight in gold, read while pregnant and great reference for when baby is born, i have 4 children, youngest being 12m and i still use this website alot.
    Huge congrats :beer:

  • Not directly a baby freebie, but how about a free apron to help protect your lovely, clean pre-parenthood clothes from the increased post-parenthood housework / mess? ;)

    Congratulations Weethomas.

    http://www.spiritofnature.co.uk/ is a good site. you can get free eco friendly nappies.scroll down the page until u see the correct size, click on the free ones and add to cart. they do 3 sizes and you can keep requesting them over and over, although i would reccomend buying them if you like them as they do help the environment and arent expensive.
    :p Dee :p
    share your smile...it costs nothing, but is worth a lot!!!
  • Well Done
    My Daughter is 16 weks old and i have found loads of stuff on this for her.
    the sma towel is great, i use that when we go swimming!!
    everything i can think of has already been covered.
    enjoy when the baby arrives, everyone ALWAYS saves 'they grow up so fast' but it is true, and the way they change your life, by the time your wife and new bundle get home from hospital you will not be able to remember what life was like before the baby arrived.
    and its amazing how your body learns to cope without sleep!!!
    youll love it
    :T :T congrats to you and your wife!!!!:T :T
    ps try be as organised as you can, sometimes they come earlier!!!!
    :think: dont know what im doing!!!:confused:
  • Hi - I dont have any links but have this advice look after yourselves and make time for the little things that matter as they are just as important as the bigger things also gut instincts are usually correct it doesnt matter how many times you visit the hospital with a child its better to be safe than sorry. Hope it helps :)
