I went Sunday afternoon and would have to say that was a good time. Picked up Gold Karicare 6 month plus for $10 per container (normally approx $18 and the supermarket). Got 9 tins because its such a good savings and we go through a tin a week. Nappy samples were great and I also stocked up on the meadow fresh drink - on Sunday they were giving away 6 drinks (the cardboard ones) for $1. Bargain. Sunday afternoon was quieter. This time I went by myself with Alex and that was good as I could move around when I wanted to]]> Mon, 11 Sep 2006 20:03:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3680&PID=71193&title=wellington-parent-and-child-show#71193 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3680&PID=71182&title=wellington-parent-and-child-show#71182 Author: Millie1976

The one thing that I thought was pretty good was a pack of 24 nappies from "Nappy House" - did anyone go to that stand? Otherwise everything else was pretty disappointing and like you Littlejo felt a little invisible at some stages too and some of the hosts were too busy gas bagging to each other!]]> Mon, 11 Sep 2006 19:02:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3680&PID=71182&title=wellington-parent-and-child-show#71182 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3680&PID=71172&title=wellington-parent-and-child-show#71172 Author: katie1

I was a bit disappointed really - I went by myself, and felt like I was invisible!! I'm not obviously pregnant yet, and it seemed like noone wanted to talk to me!!

Managed to get a few nappy samples eventually but it was a lot of hard work!

The only really friendly bunch was the Playcentre stand.
Just my personal experience, but not sure I'd bother again...]]> Mon, 11 Sep 2006 09:44:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3680&PID=71106&title=wellington-parent-and-child-show#71106 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3680&PID=71102&title=wellington-parent-and-child-show#71102 Author: Guests

I 100% completely agree lizzle!! I was so so worried about telling Plunket I'd switched Ashlee to formula that I took my mum with me! Ended up with a very nice nurse who said 'that's ok, I don't expect you to explain' and moved on so I was very relieved, (I would've probably let her have it as well!) but yeah they don't give you any guidance or info on it either.

But that's a whole 'nother thread ]]> Mon, 11 Sep 2006 08:14:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3680&PID=71088&title=wellington-parent-and-child-show#71088 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3680&PID=71081&title=wellington-parent-and-child-show#71081 Author: lizzle

that wqhole "can't promote formula| thing is such crap. When you decide to formula feed your baby, getting the right info is so important, but so difficult to get. and asking plumket sometimes is like mentioning that you'd like to sacrifice your child to the windgod or whatever. ]]> Mon, 11 Sep 2006 07:02:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3680&PID=71081&title=wellington-parent-and-child-show#71081 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3680&PID=71077&title=wellington-parent-and-child-show#71077 Author: meow

Decided not to go as we've no use for formula or baby food now.. and the nappies I use now I'm more than happy with and for $10 I can get 2 packs of 16 nappies, which I doubt I'd get in samples lol

I reckon its more aimed at pregnant people. Had loads and loads of those cloth nappy system stalls! Didn't matter to us as we were already using disposables and weren't looking to change etc. Also, with the likes of the formula stands, they wouldn't give out free sample satchets to us as they couldn't promote formula for under 1 year olds so a bit sucky!!]]> Sun, 10 Sep 2006 19:07:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3680&PID=71042&title=wellington-parent-and-child-show#71042 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3680&PID=70991&title=wellington-parent-and-child-show#70991 Author: kebakat
