One baby is expensive, but two or more at one time now that’s expensive! Always ask if a retailer offers a discount for multiple births. Don’t be shy about it either, the worst they are going to say is no. Plus, daycare centers and preschool often offer multi-child discounts. Also, many activity centers (like the gymnastics gym where my children do gymnastics) will offer a multi-child discount. Here is a list of discounts and freebies available to multiple birth parents that I have confirmed. I’m in the process of double checking a long list of company’s that are reported to offer discounts for multiple births.
Enfamil
There are lots of freebies and formula certificates available from Enfamil via their website. They do have a multiple birth program, however you will need to contact your physician to enroll. If you contact Enfamil directly they will refer you back to your physician.
Similac (Abbott)
They do not offer a multiple birth program, but have a program called Similac Strong Moms. ”The complimentary program we have for new parents is the Similac Strong Moms program. The program offers free newsletters, timely tips, and other special offers that may include money-saving checks to be used toward the purchase of Abbott Nutrition infant formula. From information on how babies develop, to tips on breastfeeding and formula feeding, you’ll receive the expert guidance you need when you need it. You may join StrongMoms by calling 1-800-232-7677. Our representatives are available Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM Central time.”
Gerber
Offers a program for multiples, which provides a special package to families of multiples. Contact Gerber when the your babies are born and provide verification such as newspaper articles or a letter from the hospital or physician and they will arrange to add your name to this program.
Beech-Nut
Offers feeding guides, double coupons and Loyalty Program offers. Just email them you complete name & mailing address, as well as the number of babies in the multiple birth.
Tylenol (McNeil) and Johnson & Johnson
McNeil and Johnson & Johnson do not have a multiple birth programs, but they always have some great coupon offers on their websites. You can also try these sites www.baby.com, www.johnsonsbaby.com or www.babycenter.com
Toy’s “R” Us & Babies “R” Us
Offer 10% off when parents (and grandparents – though this may vary from store to store) two or more of the same item/product (two cribs, two strollers etc) in one purchase. This discount applies to big ticket items like strollers, cribs, car seats, etc. I have also purchased tricycles at Toys “R” Us and received the discount. This discount is available in store only and not for online purchases.

Enfamil still has a Multiple Birth Program. I have four month old triplets and they are sending me NINE cases of Enfamil Nutramigen.
WOW! That is great Kristen! Thanks for letting me know. Did you have to go through your doctor or did you contact them directly? I hope you are doing well with those kiddos!
