Where to get free-ish stuff?

[AmieV]

I'm looking for new mama type stuff...I don't mind paying for it, but I'm just looking for things like nipple cream, nursing tea and natural baby care products, back issues of mothering (at least things of that nature) to put in a postpartum packet.

You might try contacting Lansinoh, Traditional Medicinals, and whatever other companies, because they send our birth center free samples by the boxfull. (Even Enfamil got our address... great, huh?) We've got enough free samples of breastpads to wallpaper a bedroom (don't remember the brand). What else... lots of Dreft. Mothering sends us free magazines to give out. Johnson&Johnson baby shampoo. Not necessarily natural stuff... I wonder if Burt's Bees could be impressed upon to do a baby sample pack for free/cheap.
