If you’re expecting or have a new baby at home, we found some baby freebies and baby coupons you can get ASAP.
I’ll help you find free baby registry boxes, diapers, formula, travel gear, baby wipes, and kid's books. Plus I’ve sifted through all the “free” offers that aren’t actually free after you factor in shipping costs. This helps ensure there are no out-of-pocket costs at all.
You can get most of this free baby stuff by mail and delivered right to you. However, for some, I had to go into a store or arrange for curbside pickup. Here’s the full report on what’s free, and what only seems free, and which freebies can be a bit of work but are worth the hassle.

I got a free pregnancy box from Hey, Milestone and it was super simple. Just click on “Pregnancy Sample Box” and fill out the form. You do have to pay $12.95 for shipping.

Where can I get free baby formula?
Sign up with Enfamil to get baby freebies including formula, discounts, and coupons worth up to $400.
I signed up online for a free program called Enfamil Family Beginnings. This got me over $50 in free baby formula, baby freebies, and coupons shipped to my house — for free! To sign up, just head to Enfamil.com, click “Join Enfamil Family Beginnings” at the top, and you’re set.
What you get may vary depending on their supply, but here’s exactly what I got in my Enfamil Family Beginnings kit:

10-oz can of Enfamil NeuroPro Gentlease Infant Formula milk powder (reg. $12.10)

Where can I find free kid's books?
Download free Kindle children’s books for your child.
Parents can get free children’s books for the Kindle from Amazon. You have to have a Prime membership for this perk.
I’ve downloaded dozens of free e-Books, many of which are appropriate read-aloud books for toddlers. You can shop the best-selling kids’ e-Books and sort by categories like Animals, History, Sports & Outdoors, Early Learning, and Action & Adventure.
The CDC offers free hard-copy books in both English and Spanish.
You can get three different children's books through the Amazing Books for Children program. And they're truly free since you don't even have to pay for shipping. The only catch is that there are a limited number of copies available each day. I recommend checking the site early each day to see if you can reserve a copy.
Are there baby freebies you can get with paid shipping?
Order a “free” baby car seat cover from Canopy Couture.
While this one has a shipping cost, it’s too cute and practical to pass up. I used coupon code FREECANOPY1 at CarSeatCanopy.com and got a $49.95 car seat cover for free! The catch? I had to pay $14.97 in shipping.
Obviously, the shipping is high, no doubt to make up for the “free” product. But, in the end, $14.97 is cheaper than any other car seat cover I’ve seen, and the quality of this cover is excellent.
Note that when you check out the cover, they’ll take you to a page where you can add embroidery options. That’s another $10, but you can opt to skip embroidery altogether.
Score two free onesies from Custom Snappies for free.
Custom Snappies lets you customize your baby onesies, and they’re pretty cute to boot. You can choose your own graphic and text at no additional cost. Each onesie normally goes for $24.95. But if you use the code BATHANKS17 at checkout, you can get $50 off your order, which takes your total down to $0.98 to cover shipping protection (in case your item gets lost).
The downside is you have to pay a $14.98 shipping fee, but that’s still only $14.98 for two custom onesies.
Get a quality nursing cover “free” at Udder Cover.
I bought a 100% cotton nursing cover from UdderCover.com. The retail price is $34.95, but I used coupon code FREEUCOVER1 to drop the price to $0.98 for shipping protection (in case your item gets lost).
This one isn’t completely free, as there is a $14.97 shipping cost. Each cover features a rigid neckline bow that allows you to make direct eye contact with your baby while providing maximum coverage.
Get five “free” pairs of Baby Leggings.
I got five sets of BabyLeggings for free plus $14.72 shipping using the code GIVEME5FREE at checkout. It dropped the $50 total to $0.98 for shipping protection. That’s like paying $2.94 per pair, which feels like an okay price, but not a screaming deal. Just note that if you opt for one of the $15 pairs of leggings, you'll still only save $50.
Order “free” nursing pads from BreastPads.com. ⭐
I got 20 free reusable cotton breast pads from BreastPads.com. After adding five sets with four pads each (reg. $7 each) to my cart, I used code 10FORFREE to drop the price to $0.98 for shipping protection. The max you can save with this code is $35.
But, like with all of the other “free” offers, I had to pay a whopping $14.96 for shipping. Even with the shipping cost, you get 20 pads for just $1.75 each. The quality was fine, but the price didn’t feel like a red hot deal.
Get a “free” nursing pillow from NursingPillow.com.
This feels like a necessity so I ordered a free nursing pillow with the code GIVEME1FREE at NursingPillow.com. These handy pillows are valued as low as $39.95 and the promo code will offer you a $40 savings towards any pillow of your choice. I just paid the difference for my chosen design and the $14.97 shipping fee.
The verdict: I did not care for this pillow. It is far too soft to give the right support for a nursing baby. I actually didn’t think it was worth the $14.97 shipping price.
Claim a three-pack diaper sample from Dyper.
Dyper‘s free sample comes with three diapers. They make their sustainable diapers from bamboo, plus you can compost your diapers through their REDYPER program.
Keep in mind Dyper is a subscription service that will run you $89 a month, but you only have to pay a $5 shipping fee to try out their product. Plus, you will receive a $5 coupon good towards your first purchase. So it’s a win-win if you decide to order from them.
Are there baby freebies from subscriptions?
Get free Amazon gift cards, Pampers coupons, and photo prints from Pampers Rewards.
I’m a long-term member of Pampers Club, which you can sign up for online or by downloading the Pampers Club app (iOS / Android). Every few months, I dutifully enter codes from my diaper and baby wipes to earn Pampers Cash, coupons, Amazon gift cards, and photo cards.
I’ve found the easiest way to do this is by taking a pic of the code on each package before I toss it in the recycle bin.
Then, every few months, I scroll through my camera roll and upload my codes. After my first three scans, I got a $5 Pampers coupon.
