These companies know who's pregnant from stores' gift registries. A woman
who registers for her baby shower at Babies'R'Us or wherever enters her
name, due date,"feeding preference" etc, then reaches the screen with the
fine print that she probably doesn't read but just clicks that
she "accepts" the "conditions"...That fine print includes her info being
given to different companies whose products may interest her...or some
innocent words like that.
Even the self-service digital newborn photography kiosk at your local BFH
may include that in their fine print that new parents don't read.
And the manufacturers coupons that are automatically generated (for next
time) at the grocery store checkout (based on what you just purchased)...
prints out a coupon for formula if you just bought nursing pads!!!!
