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 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

Enfamil Family
Joining the Enfamil Family is a journey with helpful developmental milestone emails for your baby’s first two years, plus a ton of freebies!
The freebies include the following:
-12.5 oz infant formula (newborn, up to 3 months old)
-12.4 oz infant formula (through 12 months old)
-4 single-serve infant formula packets

Similac Strong Moms
You can get a similar kit from Similac Strong Moms. I suggest both. Why? More goodies, try both types of formula, you never know what will work better for your baby, and you may not be able to breastfeed 100% (I had to supplement). Similac Strong Moms program includes personalized gifts and up to $329 in savings and benefits.
Pampers Rewards
Join Pampers Rewards and earn points on purchases for free gifts.
Create a Baby Registry
Amazon, Target, Babies R Us, and BuyBuy Baby all give you a gift bag when you create a registry. Creating a registry is free, and you get tons of free samples and coupons to use. I believe you have to do so in person, though.
Start a Target Baby Registry here!
Create an Amazon Baby Registry and get the welcome box.

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
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 are still worth it.
Use the code PJBABY for any of these deals.
