Quick follow up -- these are the 4 that I have managed to find, but there are probably more if you dig deeper:

You should be getting full size samples, coupons, goodies, and whatever else they decide to throw in. I seem to recall most brands giving us a mix of a full size tub of baby formula powder, a couple bottles (or cans) of ready-to-feed formula, coupons with big discounts, and in one case, we received a few bottles of lactose-free ready-to-feed formula in addition to the regular ready-to-feed formula. At today's retail prices, each newborn starter pack probably contains $50 - $70's worth of products. I was really surprised by how much stuff they include.

Some parents frown upon switching between different babay formulas; some babies like certain brands better, or a particular brand might not agree with their digestive system at all (even when there are no lactose-free requirements). My little person didn't seem to care as he would happily gulp it all down. The only thing I noticed was, as I was saying, feeding on different brands made him poop out shxt that was drastically different, but he never had a problem with any of them.
