Free Baby stuff: 28 Places To Get Free Samples For Babies

As parents to three young kids, including twins, we know that expecting a baby is exciting. We also know it can be stressful. It brings significant lifestyle changes and is costly from day one.

According to a US Department of Agriculture report, the average middle-income family will spend over $12,000 on child-related expenses in their baby’s first year.

About half of that spending will be for one-time prepping items like a crib, a car seat, a stroller, clothes, and other accouterments. We wrote about here: Big Ticket Items to Budget for When Expecting a Baby

Still, there are many recurring costs you need to reflect in your annual budget, as you are already feeling the pinch from high inflation this year.

Recurring costs in the first year include:

• Diapers and related costs like creams and pail refills.
• Feeding formula and solids later in the year.
• Burping clothes, towels, breast pumps.
• Doctor visit deductibles.
• Toys and books.

Many retailers offer free baby samples from notable household brands that can help parents try different options and get discounted diapers, formula, and bottle supplies to fulfill their baby’s needs.

Wouldn’t it be great to snag some free baby samples and coupons?

Offers may have requirements to get your free samples, ranging from signing up for their baby registry to providing a product review and paying for shipment.

In return, you’ll receive various gifts, sometimes worth hundreds of dollars.

So how do you find free baby stuff? We found it for you! Read on!

The Best Places to Get Free Baby Samples: Care Packages

The following are the best places I could find to get free care packages for expectant moms and for babies.

Amazon Baby Registry Welcome Boxes

Amazon is a frequent go-to resource for most family needs, so it is not unusual that they would be for soon-to-be parents.

Before you buy anything, be sure to save yourself some money by learning My Secrets: How To Get Amazon Coupons, Discount Codes, Promo Codes, Free Stuff, and Deals

The Amazon Welcome Box has an assortment of full, travel, and sample-size surprises for parents and their babies. Each shipped box has various items to help you with your baby’s initial needs, like a NOK baby bottle, pacifier, and Swaddle blanket.

If you are already an Amazon Prime member and intend to get most of your baby stuff here, this box is of value, at least initially.

To qualify for the Amazon Welcome Box, you’ll need to satisfy these requirements:

• Have an active Amazon Prime account.
• Create a baby registry.
• Have at least 60% of your checklist filled out on the Amazon registry.
• Ordered at least $10 of purchases, plus tax and shipping costs, from Amazon baby registry for themselves or others.

Target Welcome Box

Once you create a baby registry at Target‘s guest services, you can get a free welcome box filled with baby-related goodies estimated at $100.

The box includes sample products, discount coupons, and trial samples. You’ll need to go to a Target store to pick up your welcome kit. They will only ship your box for free after you purchase at least $35 from Target.

The box varies, subject to availability, but may include items like Dreft, detergent, wipes, baby bottles, and breast milk storage bags.

Walmart Baby Registry Welcome Box

Once you establish your baby registry with Walmart, there are two boxes that you will receive, the welcome box filled with baby-related items from the best brands like Huggies, Johnson’s, and Enfamil.

You can also opt-in for a limited edition postpartum care box, a nice touch for new moms that will come in the third trimester.

Hey, Milestone Free Pregnancy Sample Box (formerly Noobie Box)

Hey, Milestone offers a free pregnancy sample box for moms-to-be, filled with samples & a Hey, Milestone Guide with information and offers. There is a limit of one box per Mom-to-be per year.

Additionally, there is a gift box for babies.

There isn’t a bridal registry or subscription, but unlike some other baby boxes, you’ll have to pay the shipping fee of $12.95 for the Hey, Milestone baby box.

This fee may be offputting for some people, making Amazon’s box more attractive, especially if you are a Prime member.

Hey, Milestone boxes vary based on available inventory and contain about 10-12 items for baby and mom.

For example, you may get Aquaphor baby diaper rash cream, a Chicco pacifier, a set of five diapers, a Lansinoh breastfeeding set, Palmer’s stretch marks massage lotion sachet, and Prevail set of two liners.
