Baby Freebies

As my tummy gets bigger by the day, so is my belief that I think i'll make a good mummy (You see, I have doubts that I will be such control freak in the following days to come). I have been scrounging the net for baby freebies in UAE. Unfortunately unlike in US, UK and other western countries where coupons and samples are abound, there is only one where you can find useful vouchers, coupons and a free welcome baby gift box... so introducing Marhababy.com for all UAE residents. Not only you get a free box, you get good advices on having a baby in UAE. 

The box contains samples selected by mommies for future mommies. Actually that's their tag line. :) I inside their box, we got samples of J&J baby toiletries and some wipes and vouchers/coupons. I wish there will be more for of these in the coming days. In total, I got three freebies as of now, 1) Destination Maternity gave me Pink Pepper voucher where I get a free 20cm printout from my 1-hr maternity photoshoot; 2) Latifah Hospital Free Electric Bottle Sterilizer w/ J&J baby pouch (hubby was ecstatic with the gift!); and 3) Free Marhababy Box (which I accidentally came upon the net)....so its quite cool to receive such freebies. 

So, I was lucky that during the USG in Latifah Hospital last November 10, it was National Breastfeeding Day and there was a booth at the reception lobby. Dragging my hubby with me, we met with lactation consultants and they discussed breastfeeding with us which are very helpful and informative for both of us. Previously, my hubby prefers that I must not store my breast milk (not that I have any at the moment) because he wants fresh supply for his beloved daughter. It seems I cannot convince him with my research that we can store my milk supply once I started going back to work. But thankfully, the lactation consultant eased his mind that we should feed our incoming daughter exclusively with my breast milk for at least six months with no water involved and that my milk can be stored for months even! In my mind I was counting the amount of money I'll be able to save and praying she will latched properly on me. We'll see...9 more weeks to go anyway.
