I just got the book (which is very good) - no pack with other goodies. And no idea about this black and white book? Sounds cool though!

Tiff, I never got a bounty pack when Harry was born either, but got them to send one out to me - just google to find the website then email the people, so you won't miss out ]]> Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:47:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16724&PID=368935&title=surprise-from-plunket#368935 <![CDATA[surprise from plunket : It&#039;s not an Auckland thing...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16724&PID=368930&title=surprise-from-plunket#368930 Author: Bobbie

Eden had her first Plunet visit this morning and they gave us a gift... This is the first time ever i have received anything from them and this is my third child... it came in a reusable bag and it contained the new edition of the thriving under 5 book, a Plunket pamphlet, a Huggies nappy and sample body wash and a Book of colours and some number flashcards, with a voucher for another free book from the library too...

the 2008 version of the book seemed to have some great info re not feeding your child before 6 months and how at 3 months they may appear ready but it is merely a normal developmental stage; info re breastfeding till 2 yrs old; night waking in toddlers... lets just hope they have updated the plunket nurses too!!!!
