In my Pregnancy Pilates class, we were discussing the free baby samples available for expecting mums. If you know of any which are not listed below, please let me know so I can update this post.
A few of the mothers to be signed up for the Lidl, Aldi and Supervalu gifts. So I thought I share those details below and have a look for any other offers out there.
I hope this helps some of you, I always think if you can save money, you should, you can splurge on cute baby outfits instead! If there are any missing, let me know and I'll add them on!
