Free Baby Stuff

Did you know that you can start stocking up on free baby supplies the moment your baby arrives? It’s true; almost all hospitals supply new mothers an assortment of free products such as lotions, creams, diapers, formula and ointments. Some hospitals will even go so far as to give away diaper bags and bottle bags. This can set you up quite nicely and make you feel a bit more secure as you return home, but what then?

Well, it seems like there are more and more websites offering free samples and products to new mothers and their children. As is the case with most other freebie sites, these websites are loaded down with samples from companies that want to attract the business and brand loyalty of these new moms. Some of these sites are even offering free samples of formula which, as any mom can tell you, can be rather expensive. Many of the companies that offer free products of this nature have e-mail mailing lists where they will mail all registered users of their website specials and offers for free samples and products; it is worth your time to register with these sites for this reason.

It’s also a great idea to randomly check out search engines. Just type in whatever items you need followed by “free”. You’ll be amazed at how much free baby products are out there. Not only that, but if you are able to find multiple sites, you can really stock up. Can you imagine getting enough diapers to last you several months just for filling out a survey or signing up for a newsletter?

Another way to get free baby stuff is to think “outside of the box”. Mothers are instantly going to think of clothes, diapers, bottles and formula. But because of this, other opportunities for free products sometimes go overlooked. Here are a few freebies that are often available but get overshadowed by necessities.

Photos – Many photography studios offer free photo sessions for your baby. They do this in the hopes that as your child grows, you will return to them for future photography needs. This is a great resource for sending pictures to family and friends without having to opt for a more expensive option like the often overpriced hospital pictures.

Sippy Cups – While your baby obviously won’t need a sippy cup right away, it is always important to think ahead. Some companies offer free cups for babies and toddlers to test out new mouthpieces or designs. Even if your baby is only one week old, if you see an offer for free sippy cups, by all mean take it!

So there you have it. It seems that everyone else is just as excited about your new baby as you are! Of course, these companies merely want you to choose their brand over others. Still, it is to your advantage as a new mother to take part in any freebie offer for baby goods that comes your way!
