I'm not *sure,* but I think that we determined that these are just promotions to get your email & addy. I think the only real way to get one of these is through your hospital or doctor's office - someone correct me if I'm wrong!

For those who want it, here is the legitimate Emfamil program. Please note that it is administered by hospitals, and you need a certificate to get a Smart Start Bag. However, it IS free, and very, very nice. My wife and I got one after the birth of our daughter last December. It has 8-12 reusable sample bottles of formula (4 oz. each - it came with two 4-packs, but the nursing staff gave us another because DD2 was eating so much), nipples, generic diapers and wipes, Desitin and loads of coupons. It's really a great freebie. Check the site and sign up for all their other programs too. The gift check program (for purchasing powdered formula) is also great. The gift checks are like coupons on steroids, as they as usually good denominations ($3-$7 is common), and because they are actual cheques they are even accepted at anti-coupon warehouse stores like our Sam's Club. They come by mail and in the monthly Family Beginnings magazine. Anyway, here's the real link, and best wishes to anyone expecting!

Thanks for posting the true information Throwin, they have been doing this for a long time, I got a free one when I had our son at the hospital 12 years ago and they are a great freebie. (For low income people, some hospitals will have you sign a paper that you are in need, and theyn waive the certificate requirement and just give you the bag, at least they did back then!)

Anyway, as you can see, I have blocked that stupid spam link to save members from being scammed by a place that just wants their email and mailing addresses for junk mail and spam!

okay 2 things

1) I moved this because its a baby freebie

2) Most hospitals (especially in my area) offer 1 of 3 types of these bags, either the enfamil, similac or goodstart. They are all very nice freebies for anyone with a new baby. They (at least the enfamil and similac) contain formula samples. I never needed a certificate to get mine and I got it with both kids. I had the certificate but they never cared about it they said it was just on emore peice of paper to deal with. You can ask your hospital when you visit it pre-labor what the policy is. My doc always recomended that new moms take a "tour" of the maternity ward and hospital prior to going into labor so that when the big event came you knew exactly where to go and what to do. The nurses usually have no problem answering your questions in advance. It saves the confusion once you're in labor. (especially if you have extremely fast labor like mine).
3) okay I lied I am adding a third thing LOL... If you are breast feeding and have somethiing against these bags (as a lot of breast feeding advocates do) its is still a nice diaper bag for quick trips out and you can always donate the formula to a food bank or other organization so that someone who needs it can benifit from it. My hospital also offered a manual breast pump upon request. (I did have to ask for it with my son and the only reason I even knew they offered it was becasue my aunt had gotten one with her daughter after Danielle was born) So if you are nursing ditch the formula, keep the bag and ask about a pump! LOL okay thats enough wind bagging for me right now!

Thats great! I'm about to have a baby myself (4 weeks to go!) and I could use some of that!
Thanks!
