Before snagging your baby freebies…
Before you start signing up to get all this awesome free baby swag, here are a few preliminary things to know first.
- Create a separate email address. Most places want you to register with them before they give you the goods. This often includes your email address. It’s not a bad thing, because often they want to send you more correspondence about other products from them that you might find useful or even coupons and other freebies. But if you don’t want your main email account overrun with baby product emails, consider making a separate account just for freebies.
- Paying for shipping Keep in mind that some places offer a free product, but you’ll have to pay for shipping. It’s usually still a good deal, so don’t let that intimidate you.
- Low income For mamas who earn under a certain income, we’ve included some places that offer services that may help you get what you need for your baby, for free.
- Affiliates We are affiliates of some of the companies included. The links below will provide us with a small commission for sharing their products.
Now that you’ve gotten all the preliminary stuff out of the way, it’s time to grab your freebies! You’ll find free stuff for babies including samples and full sized formula, clothes and diapers, as well as free stuff for expecting mothers!
