    They are put on here anyway you'll have to enter them as you go along i'm afraid a bit much to expect people to PM you if they find any:)

    Try the search box in the top right hand corner and search for specific words in the competitions forum (but not game over). If you search for things like cot, pram, baby etc. you should see loads. Good luck.

    I know I've seen a few baby related ones this past week and on Facebook too due to the birth of Prince George- searching by keyword will be the quickest...

    I've been entering baby comps since my daughter was 1st pregnant & the biggest win has been a gumigem necklace (but I have won quite a lot of smaller items)- the comps are out there - Pushchair Trader run loads but they have a subscription service which gives you 25 entries into every comp so the was majority of winners are via the subscription.

    Not trying to put you off but this is the reality of comping

    blogs often have smaller baby items to give away

    There's always a high demand for baby stuff so there are always a lot of people entering baby comps unfortunately. Having babies doesn't have to be expensive though. They don't need everything brand new, you can get stuff nearly new and second hand for bargain prices, the baby will never know the difference.

    If you are entering competitions though for baby stuff then search the forum. Good keywords are baby, pram, nappy (if you plan to use cloth) you can also try searching for brands like mothercare, nuk, tommee tippee etc and then try searching for sites that are known to do baby comps like madeformum.

    At the end of the day though you aren't guaranteed a win so don't go into it all expecting to win all the baby stuff you need.
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    When I was pregnant (she is now 4 months old!!), I entered every baby comp out there. The only thing I won was a bumbo - oh and some baby plum food but that was given to my 2 year old brother :)

    I was really chuffed with the bumbo though as I would have purchased one. I would have loved to win a pushchair but like others say, they are very popular.

    Congratulations on your pregnancy too :)
