When you are pregnant, you can be bombarded with lists of things you ‘need’ for yourself and your baby, and it can soon get very expensive. However, there are lots of companies which provide freebies for expectant and new mums, including goodie bags, nappies, wipes, shampoo and conditioner, and more.

We’ve rounded up some of the places you can get freebies and what you can get:

• Emma’s Diary: they offer a range of packs, including
  • Mum to Be, from early pregnancy, includes things like pantyliners, Sudocrem, stretch mark lotion, pregnancy vitamins and information leaflets
  • Bump to Baby, from week 27 of pregnancy, includes a full pack of Pampers nappies, Weleda cream, Milton sterilising tablets, Fairy POD and softener, money off coupons for a range of products, and information leaflets
  • New Family Pack, after birth, includes skin lotions, food charts, and a range of vouchers and discount codes

To get the Emma’s Diary packs, register on the website or on the app, from there you can access the vouchers (either print them or show on your phone) and collect the packs from your nearest Argos or Boots. They also run a Baby Club which has even more great offers including discounts on car seats, travel systems and nursery furniture when you sign up.
