Yes we went on saturday, it was good, but we went really early to beat the rush, lots of freebies, and tons of information, was only there for about 1 hour... ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I'm not going either. I said it would be my back up if I didnt have a baby yet...which I dont....but I dont think I could tolerate the crowds. I cancelled our big wedding after going to the bride show....imagine what I might decide after this

Your baby might decide to come out today if you did the walk around there. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

My head might explode though...still a bit cold/fluey. Might prefer a walk around the park to see if daffidols are out. I kind of imagined coming home with my baby about now and stopping for photos amongst the dafs. Might have to settle for the belly in the dafs |

Was really disappointed in it really. So IMO you didn't miss much. Wasn't that many discounts or freebies. Most of the discounts were the same price as a sale at the baby shops.
Wasn't many stands and only took me about 45 mins to go round. Most of the stands were photgraphers and cloth nappies (which you get as much good advice on this site as from the stands). -------------

Man I loved it got about 15 free nappies for C and about 1o for J as well as some wipes, about 10 toddler formula sachets, a polar fleece hat for Caprece, some baby food, a pencil case and lots of pad and barrier cream samples.
I also bought some dummies, flax seed oil, sunblock and signed up to treasures and got so much free stuff withy that. I had a free pass as well so didn't even have to pay $10 |
