Freebies for New Moms

This post will share freebies for new moms & expecting moms.  These freebies for expecting mammas are often by mail too!  No trip to the store for these pregnancy freebies!

These freebies for new moms will have you seeing smiles.  While some come by mail and do require shipping a lot are SO cute — I think you’ll love them!  A little something special freebies for new moms.

Being pregnant isn’t fun. Even those who absolutely ADORE being pregnant (and there aren’t many) say that there are drawbacks.

WHICH is why — you should be getting all the perks you can.

And, this goes beyond those awesome maternity spots at the mall. There’s even more (some links in this post are affiliate links):

Freebies for New Moms

First off I have some awesome items:

As a blogger, I have a discount that can get you many of these items for free or heavily discounted. The code CURLS333 will give you a discount on any of these items (the discount amount is noted):

Keep in mind that the prices are a bit inflated, and you do have to pay shipping — but even so, a lot are GREAT prices. My favorites are:

Pregnancy Freebies

Belly Bands (as it keeps me from showing anything I’d rather keep hidden — you can get 2 with the savings).  Shipping makes its total around $17 bucks (3 bucks more if you want size insurance).

The pregnancy pillow (because people LOVE theirs — and the shaping in this one makes it EXTRA comfortable!) — the total for the lowest cost one is about 65 (so — totally not free — just a good discount).  If you want the minky (which I would) it would be $75.  BUT, it’s a great body pillow — and awesome to help your hips during pregnancy!

Hot Hips — great for after baby too (they’re similar to the bands, but more secure as they use your button).  You can get up to 3 with the discount — shipping is about 18 bucks (so you’d pay 18 bucks for 3 of them, and they come in various colors).

Free Baby Stuff for Expecting Mothers

Eskimo Kids hats — these are GREAT for the winter!  The hats have been SUPER popular (I saw them at a conference and they really are SO Cute and soft)  With shipping it’s $12.99  Still not bad for a soft hat your kid’s going to love (they have infant to adult sizes).

Little Wanderers baby shoes (because I have an unhealthy addiction to baby shoes).  I could get 2 pair of the baby shoes {swoon} for 17 bucks shipped to me. Still a GREAT deal for two pairs of super cute shoes (guys — these look very freshly-picked’ish).

Ruffle Buns (because OH MY GOSH they are cute!) Shipping for 3 of them is 14 bucks (pretty great for 3 pair).  You can remove the sizing insurance — that seems a bit overkill with baby bloomers.  They also have diaper covers for little boys (great for summer months).

Wait, these things are FREE…?

So, keep in mind they’re not all “free” — but it does give you a good discount and they’re fun, cute products.  Since you could buy them in bulk it would be great for baby showers! 🙂

Each of the stores has a great google rating for purchases.  Yes, it’s a little sketch to call them “free” — but then charge $15 to ship — but they’re solid stores and you can trust they’ll ship your items. 🙂

New mom freebies

(these are actually totally free)

You want to be SURE to sign up for a baby registry!  It’s totally free!  Friends and family will be excited about your upcoming event and will want to support you with the products you need.

My absolute favorite is an Amazon Baby Registry — everyone uses Amazon anymore and it can be SO convenient for family to ship it right to you.

The other thing I really like about an Amazon registry is that you can add things whenever you think of them (instead of being stuck with what you scanned at the store). 🙂

You can also register with Buy Buy Baby — and get a free goodie bag!

** You’ll be buying a lot of stuff for your new baby — don’t forget to sign up with Ebates. **

Did you know that if you’re insured in the US you are able to get a free breast pump.  Skip all the paperwork and get it through Aero Healthcare.
