Questions
What are Bounty Packs?
The Bounty packs are bags of free samples and information for expectant and new mums, and provide you with the opportunity to 'try before you buy', a range of samples for you, your baby and your family.
Which Bounty Packs am I entitled to?
During the early stages of pregnancy your GP will refer you to your local midwife. When you first visit the scanning clinic or local midwife, the first of the Bounty packs is the ‘Pregnancy Information Pack’, inside this pack is our first free guide, our ‘your pregnancy’ guide.’ Within this is a voucher for you to redeem your ‘Mum-To-Be Essentials’ pack from Boots or Asda, which includes lots of free samples for newly expectant mums to try before they buy.
When the time arrives for your new baby to enter the world and you visit your local Hospital, you will receive your ‘Overnight Essentials’ pack in the hospital delivery suite from a healthcare professional.
Once you have given birth and are on the maternity unit with your newborn, you will receive the ‘Newborn Essentials’ pack from your local Bounty distributor. This pack contains the ‘you and your newborn’ guide with lots of information and advice for these early stages.
When your baby reaches approximately 6 months of age, use the voucher which is in the ‘you and your newborn guide’ and redeem this for the ‘Baby Essentials’ pack from Boots or Asda. Inside this pack is the ‘you and your growing baby’ guide. Bounty does not recommend redeeming this pack prior to 6 months as it contains samples for weaning, and could become out of date before you are able to use them.
As your Baby approaches their first birthday, we will post you a further information guide called ‘your toddler’.
