So, another thread on the 3rd tri got me thinking. Does Troy Beaumont give out the Similac/Enfamil diaper bags still? I know they did when DS was born but that was over 5 years ago. Also, if they do, do they have one geared towards BFing moms looking to possibly supplement?
No they don't- I had asked. Instead, they started giving out a Halo sleep sack with the swaddle which is really nice! If you want the diaper bags, just e-mail the formula companies and explain the hospital no longer offers these bags. They'll send them to you. That's what I ended up doing.
I don't know what Similac offers, but Enfamil has a kit for bf moms who want to supplement. DS's peds office had them and anytime I'm in there I always see a few of them. If they don't offer, you can always ask.

oooh that's interesting to hear! They were still giving them out when I had DD#1 but I'd much rather get a Halo sleep sack swaddle! Awesome

I delivered at RO Beaumont and they gave the sack out - it's awesome! It's for 2 sizes, when they are newborn and when they are older - like 6-12 months. It's really nice!!!
Oh, this is good to know. I got the diaper bag with DD, but I didn't use it much. (I think I gave it to my mom to have something when she watched DD.) I am excited about the sleep sack though!
Crittenton is givng out both the diaper bags and the Halo sleep sacks. your choice of Similac or Enfamil...we even have some organic formula diaper bags.

I didn't deliver out of Troy, but my ped's office is in Troy Beaumont and they gave me a Nestle Goodstart diaper bag.
That would be pretty cool to get a sleepsack, though!
