Lansinoh sent me a small sample of lanolin, breast pads, and milk storage bags. Medela sent me a small sample of lanolin, breast pads, and a breastfeeding booklet (I haven't read it yet though). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-baby-freebies#post-97806 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 17:02:41 +0000 mrsjyw 97806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UCOVERS is the latest code for the sling and carseat covers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-baby-freebies#post-60958 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:44:56 +0000 tequiero21 60958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: i haven't actually used it on the car seat though so not sure how good of a job it'll do (we got 1 car seat from our shower and i haven't opened it hehe).... i really liked the inside of the cover, which is SO SOFT~! let me know if you want the measurements.</p> <p>i've seen reviews for those kinda slings, and i can't recall but there were some negatives - something about being bad for baby's back or stuff like that... so i didn't order it.</p> <p>@pastemoo: hehe i've never used a nusing cover, so i have no idea, but i'm sure it WOULD be a pain the butt... but i still feel it's very exposable. and flimsy. but hopefully, it'll do it's job and i can give it an awesome review when i use it. =)</p> <p>also, if you guys order the 5-piece set, it's only like $30 + s&amp;h, which is a steal considering it costs like $140 (supposedly).... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-baby-freebies#post-60917 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:55:10 +0000 pastemoo 60917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: Tie in the back would be a HUGE pain in the butt. It is kind of flimsy--but bigger/wider than the plain nursing blankets my SIL has. I like it. I hope you end up liking it. :)<br /> Thanks for the feedback on the carseat cover! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-baby-freebies#post-60871 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:06:54 +0000 banana 60871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiro21: Oh good to know you liked the car seat cover. Extra blankets are always good to have around so I'm gonna order it. </p> <p>I don't know if I'll order the nursing cover. I already have a poncho-style one that I used with my first baby and I really liked it. So maybe I'll go with the car seat cover. I'm on the fence about the sling. I bought a Becco Carrier and never used it. So maybe carrying babies is just not for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-baby-freebies#post-60803 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:42:13 +0000 tequiero21 60803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>alright ladies, i got the car seat cover and really liked it. so i ordered another one for our 2nd baby. lol. i think you can use it as a regular blanket too, because it IS a regular blanket, except it has some velcro attachment that will attach to the car seat handle.</p> <p>also got the nursing cover.... just seems like a thin piece of sheet that has a string and loop to tie around the neck. hopefully, the babies won't be kicking up a storm because i can see them kicking it and exposing me. lol. i have nothing to compare it to (not sure how well others are made. it's alright. i might pay $20 more for something at amazon or bbb if it was made thicker and maybe had a tie in the back or something so it wouldn't come undone so easily (with a kick!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-baby-freebies#post-59537 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:30:54 +0000 pastemoo 59537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Let me know if you like it! I'm scared to order it because I'm in denial about how often we'll use the carseat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-baby-freebies#post-59338 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:43:27 +0000 banana 59338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: Thanks for the review! I'm gonna order the nursering cover now. I'm wondering what the car seat cover is like. Maybe I'll just order it since it looks so cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-baby-freebies#post-59335 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:41:53 +0000 pastemoo 59335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: They have a measurement thingy for sizing. I chose a size 2, and it is true to size. It's just a little weird looking when it's not on. Literally like a big tube.</p> <p>@Katm558: :P hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-baby-freebies#post-58304 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:20:45 +0000 Katm558 58304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo - I've been using my free nursing cover for two years now, and it's pretty great. I do wish that it was longer and slightly wider, bit hey, it was FREE! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-baby-freebies#post-58185 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:15:42 +0000 heffalump 58185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: thanks for the review! I thought my lo would be too big for the sling but it says up to 35 lbs, I'm going to try it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-baby-freebies#post-58175 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:04:32 +0000 pastemoo 58175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>REVIEW!<br /> The nursing cover looks awesome. Obviously haven't tried it with baby, but it has a nice stiff edge so you can easily look down at baby. The buckle is good and I think I'll get a lot of use out of it.<br /> The sling is kind of ... boring. It's pretty much just a tube of non stretchy fabric. I think it might possibly function--got to wait for baby to arrive to figure that one out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-baby-freebies#post-56108 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:42:38 +0000 pastemoo 56108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Haven't got them yet. I ordered the nursing cover and the sling only. When I see them, I'll decide about the car seat cover.<br /> @Becksabee: Awesome! How did you decide what company? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-baby-freebies#post-55753 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:42:06 +0000 Becksabee 55753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you sign up for Similac and Enfamil, they will send you freebies.
