Congratulations! You’re expecting or just had a new baby. You’re exhausted, but so happy, right? There’s so much to do, a lot of planning involved, and tons of supplies you need to collect.
New Moms certainly have a lot on our plates. It certainly helps to have access to freebies and great information. Check out this list of freebies for new moms and resources for first-time parents – see if anything interests you.
Free Baby Stuff for Expecting and New Moms
I have compiled a list of free items, some free trials, some that may require paying shipping and handling (S&H), some that require participation to redeem, and some reduced-price items (I call them cheapies). Affiliate links are used in this post, earning me a referral at no additional cost to you.
For any of these that require paying S&H or are on a trial basis, first evaluate whether you even need this item. If you do, snag it because this is a great opportunity. But if not, skip it. And for those free trials – remember to decide whether you wish to continue the service.
Free Resources for New Moms

Similac Strong Moms
You can get a similar kit from Similac Strong Moms. I suggest both. Why?

Behavior Charts
You can also get these free Behavior Charts for various stages of development.
Baby Gear – Carseat Canopy, Seven Slings, Udder Covers, Breast Pads, Nursing Pillow, Baby Leggins, Belly Button Band
These items are also helpful if you want to help with baby stuff for new moms for a friend or relative. New parent freebies are always welcome at baby showers.
The items below are all free but require paying S&H. But the S&H is still cheaper than the item itself (if purchased from a physical store) so they are still worth it.
Use the code PJBABY for any of these deals.
