NHS Healthy Start is a government initiative, you may qualify for free vouchers every week to spend on milk, plain fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables, and infant formula milk. You can also get free vitamins. If you’re pregnant or have children under the age of four you could qualify if you’re on benefits, or if you’re pregnant and under 18. Check if you qualify here.

If you’re an Aldi fan they often have baby bits for a good price on their middle aisle. Not technically a freebie but worth mentioning.
Most baby clubs like music, baby sensory, rhyme time, baby yoga, and baby gym will offer a free class to see if you like it, I think it’s worth trying them to see if they are going to be worth it for you. Your local library will often have a free music or baby class so check there first.

Freebies from Infant formula companies
I’ve included the formula companies because they do offer pregnancy and baby freebies, but just be warned they will have subtle formula and follow on milk messages, which you don’t need – even if you bottle feed with Infant formula, it’s better to stick with the first formula rather than switch to follow on milk. They aren’t allowed to advertise their infant milk before 6 months, so getting you on board whilst pregnant is a way of getting round the advertising ban. Onto the offers – Cow & Gate offer a free pregnancy diary and cuddly cow when you join up to their baby club. Similarly, SMA infant formula have a pregnancy club which offers surprises, information and competitions. Aptamil has offers, expert advice and discounts.
