Of course you can get a
breastfeeding kitfrom the formula companies - read my Formula Freebies post!
But that's not the best idea for breastfeeding success. They create those kits in hopes that you will give up and switch to formula. So you won't find a formula company freebie here.
Don't believe me? Read my Mountain of Formula Freebies post, and tell me what you think!
So I went searching for freebies for breastfeeding moms and made this huge list of 101+ freebies!
Listing magazines, signs and decals/stickers, ebooks and audio books, handouts, lullaby music, nursing mom recipies, flyers and posters, printables, apps, thanks for breastfeeding cards, videos, patterns, license to breastfeed cards, time with a lactation consultant, online classes, frugal baby tips, and even tea, lanolin, and nursing pad samples.
Plus how to get a free breast pump! I hope you enjoy it!
NOTE: If you stumbled in here looking for a formula sample, I do have a separate post for Formula Freebies.
