Are you about to have a baby and you are not sure if you may need to supplement your baby with formula?
Contact the following manufactures and you may receive samples of their formula.
You will also be put on mailing lists; however you will also receive coupons for discounts off formula.

Bright Beginnings: http://www.brightbeginnings.com/
Very Best Baby (Nestle) : http://www.verybestbaby.com
You can also get free samples from most pediatrician, OB, or family practice offices. I always ask whenever I go just to have a few on hand.

but if you want to breastfeed, better skip this completely. Next to lack of support from father/family this is the number one thing that interferes with supply and suck. If you don’t have artificial baby milk in the house you are more likely to persevere with bfeeding and seek help if you run into problems. You really should consider including links to La Leche League http://www.lalecheleague.org/ and how to find an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultants) http://gotwww.net/ilca/ in this article.
Also, free samples violate the World Health Organization’s Code on the marketing of artificial baby milk.
There are times when supplements are medically indicated, and when I was an LLL leader there were times when I advised them, but most babies do not need them.
