Expectant Mums

For first time mums, the list of goodies you need for your new arrival is seemingly endless. For mums who have already a baby or two, you may already have these items.

If you’re a mom to be, why not tick off all the items you already have and use the list to keep track of what you still need.

If you’re throwing a baby shower for a friend, ask them to tick off what they already have and use the list as a guide for gift suggestions for guests.

Your Link pharmacy is the ideal place to shop for many of the goodies mums will need, both before, and when their newborn arrives.

Your Link clinic sister is also a lifeline for new moms, so why not pop into your Link pharmacy to meet the clinic sister before your baby arrives. When you’ve had your baby she will be able to provide all the baby wellness services - weighins, growth curve checks, vaccinations and provide general support and advice.
