Free Stuff for Baby! The New Parents' Ultimate Guide to Hundreds of Dollars of Baby Freebies and Parenting Resources, by Sue M. Hannah (Contemporary Books, 2003, $13) When author Sue Hannah found out she was expecting twins and realized she'd need to save money at every opportunity, she researched all that was available free to parents, from online sites and support groups to brochures and products. Her list of companies to contact for new-parent perks goes way beyond diaper samples and baby-food coupons to include such impressive goodies as free Muppets music videos and a 712-page pediatric health guide from the Mayo Clinic and State Farm Insurance. Best of all is the chapter with Hannah's tips for frugal parenting, obviously wrought from years of experience. Instructions for making your own diaper covers, baby wipes, nonslip socks and even play dough will help you put that much more money toward your baby's college education.
