What pregnancy / baby freebies are there?

Hi All,

Found out I was pregnant this weekend. Am really excited. There must be loads of places that give our freebies to mums to be / new babies. Just wondered if anyone knew where to start looking!

Thanks,
Flis

    Congrats!!

    I signed up for loads on behalf of a mate, Boots and Tescos both do baby clubs and most of the nappy brands like Pampers do clubs you can join.

    I would advise setting up a hotmail type account specifically for joining these clubs. I got hold of plenty of stuff, but I signed up for everything I could find.

    Also are you a member of free cycle as there is usually loads of kids stuff on there. Another tip is looking on ebay for items ending soon that need collecting that are in your area as you can pick up larger items (ie cots/baby baths) very cheaper as most people cba to collect.

    Hope that is of some help to you!

    There are loads of baby freebies out there but are all mainly rubbish, lloyds and Boots have free mum to be packs but they just have a few sachets and loads of junk leaflets. The best freebies come when baby is born and are given at the hospital, we had our boy last Wednesday and got loads of full size or near full size stuff including, handwash, baby wipes, Dettol spray, shampoo,nappy bags, Sudocrem and loads more. I think that is the best freebie we've ever got. (except for the baby of course :) )
