And you can also get lansinoh free too if you are breastfeeding! And after you've had the baby there are some things you can get free for them too that I'd been buying - like calpol, some wind remedies etc comes under minor ailments service. Take a look at the thread I posted a while ago and also another one on a different forum its interesting but no gp or hv tells you about this!
