Having a baby is expensive!
Even if you haven’t been affected by the economic downfall as much, you might still be feeling that you need to be more budget-conscious now.
But the good news is that there are a lot of pregnancy freebies that you can snag for cheap or free.
Before your baby’s arrival, you don’t know which baby essentials will suit you. To make your life easier a lot of baby brands offer free samples of some of the most used baby products.
That way you can try some options and see which ones you love.
The downside is that you’ll have to spend some time signing up for baby registries, filling up forms for rewards programs, or newsletters.
This might feel time-consuming when you have a lot to worry about. But to the end of the pregnancy, many expecting moms know they need to take things slowly.
When it comes to the point when all you need to do is relax and wait for your baby’s arrival, you’ll have lots of time to spare.
That’s when you can start checking out all these options to grab some pregnancy free stuff.
Below I’ll show you (see the pictures) what came in my baby registry welcome boxes from each company. This is for May 2020. Of course, your box might be slightly or way different but this will give you an idea of what to expect.

Free Welcome Box From Amazon
Amazon offers some amazing pregnancy and baby freebies in their free welcome box (up to $35 value) when you start your Amazon baby registry with them.
To claim a Welcome Box you’ll need to:
- sign-up for Amazon Prime (if you’re not a member already),
- complete Registry Checklist by adding products from each category to your registry or marking the category as complete,
- make a purchase of $10.00 from your registry (either by you or your gifters).
*When you sign up for Amazon Prime or if you’re already a Prime member, join Amazon Family for 20% off diapers, baby food, and more discounts.
Another benefit of the Amazon baby registry is that you’ll get 15% completion discount. It means after you receive your gifts from your registry and there are still things to buy – believe me, you’ll always have new things to add to your registry last minute – you can make 2 orders with a 15% discount. This adds up to a significant amount. Do combine many items in one order as you get to make only 2 with the discount.
My Amazon free baby registry welcome box included:
- 1 Gerber swaddle blanket,
- 1 Carter’s bodysuit 3-6 months,
- 1 pack of Huggies wipes, 1 Philips Avent 4 oz Natural bottle,
- 1 MAM Anti Colic 4.5 oz bottle + start pacifier 0+,

Babylist Hello Baby Box
Babylist didn’t want to fall behind its competitors and is also offering free hello baby box for parents who start their baby registry with them. The box comes filled with samples and offers from big baby brands like Pampers, Huggies, or Honest. The downside though is that you’ll need to pay a $9.99 shipping fee.
To claim a Hello Baby Box you’ll need to:
- Sign up for Babylist Baby Registry,
- Claim your free Hello Baby Box by filling out the form on the same page and paying the shipping fee.
Free Welcome Kit From Target
Another big retailer offering a baby registry welcome kit is Target. Again, you need to create a baby registry with them. Target is quite generous with its freebies for new moms and offers handpicked samples and coupons worth over $80. The downside here is that you need to pick up your welcome kit at Target Guest Servies yourself. But I’m sure you shop at Target a lot, so this shouldn’t be an issue.
To claim a Welcome Kit you’ll need to:
- Sign up for Target Baby Registry,
- Click on the Get barcode button.
- Head to your local Target, show the barcode at Guest Services to grab the free Target welcome kit.
Free Goody Bag from Buybuy BABY
If you plan to shop at your local buybuy BABY store, you can grab a free goody bag full of baby samples and a buybuy BABY coupon. Guess what you need to do to get it! That’s right! Start your baby registry with them. You can also schedule an appointment with one of their expert registry consultants, and take advantage of the dedicated one-on-one time to choose all your newborn baby stuff — for free!
To claim a Free Goody Bag you’ll need to:
- Sign up for buybuyBABY Registry,
- Visit your local buybuy BABY store to grab the free goody bag.
Note: You can start one or all of these registries depending on your time and budget. This can also be a good way to play around different registries and see which one you prefer the most. Even when you pick your favorite company to go with for your baby registry, you can still get a welcome box from the others by simply starting the registry with them too.
Free Baby Formula Samples from Enfamil
Even if you plan to exclusively breastfeed it’s a good idea to have several bottles of baby formula at home in case things don’t go as smoothly at the beginning of your breastfeeding journey.
Yes, you’ll get some baby formula bottles at the hospital too but those might not be enough.
Enfamil will send you free baby formula samples if you sign up for their Family Beginnings Rewards program and newsletter. They’ll also include some cute Belly Badges for your little one.
Free Baby Formula Samples from Similac
Get some more free baby formula samples from Similac. I’d encourage you to sign up for both Enfamil and Similac samples because you never know which formula your little one would prefer.
To receive the formula samples from Similac you’ll need to sign up for their StrongMoms Rewards program. As a bonus, you’ll also get information about your baby’s milestones and a free Shutterfly photo book for all those cute pictures you’re going to take when your baby arrives.
Free Medela Breastfeeding Kit
If you sign up for Medela‘s newsletter they will send you a free kit with samples of some amazing breastfeeding essentials – a pack of nursing pads, milk storage bags, nipple cream. Don’t delay singing up for these as you might want to include the breastfeeding kit in your hospital bag.
Noobie Pregnancy Sample Box
This is another one among great pregnancy freebies you probably haven’t heard of. Noobie Box is a company that offers gift boxes and subscriptions. And they offer a one-time gift of their sample pregnancy box for moms-to-be.
The great thing is that you don’t need to sign up for a subscription or any trials. The only downside is you’re paying the shipping cost of $8.95. But if you take a pick at all the goodies that come in the box you’ll realize that it’s well worth the shipping cost. Use my code for the free pregnancy sample box and 20% off all products.
My Noobie free pregnancy box included:
- 1 pack of Prevail Daily Pads – 1 pads
- 1 pack of Water Wipes – 10 wipes
- 1 Sample of Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Lotion (20ml)

Free 1-year Parents Magazine Subscription
With your little one coming you might want to have easy and entertaining magazines to read on everything that is parenting. And guess what! You can get a whole year of free Parents magazines mailed to your doorstep every month. All you need to do is sign up here.
Carseat Cover Freebie From Canopy Couture
Canopy Couture offers cute carseat covers that’ll come handy in the summer to protect your little one from the sun. With my promo code POMEGRANATEMOM you can get $50 off. And because many of their carseat covers are priced at $49.95 it means you’ll get it as a pregnancy freebie. All you need to pay is the shipping cost of $14.97.
5 Free Baby Board Books From Babsy Books
It’s never early to start reading to your baby. Start your little one’s library with these 5 free board books ($40 value) from Babsy Books. Again use my promo code POMEGRANATEMOM and pay only the shipping cost.
One Last Thing
With all the expenses coming up with your little one’s arrival I hope these amazing pregnancy freebies will have some of the basic baby essentials covered for you. At least for the first couple of months!
Yes, after signing up for different newsletters, going into your inbox might feel intimidating. You don’t have to deal with all the emails at once though. Just take it one at a time. Surf around all the offerings, you might want to stay subscribed to the newsletters of some of these companies for future deals and helpful parenting tips. And unsubscribe from those you don’t feel you’ll benefit from.
