Free Gifts for First Time Moms

Becoming a first time mother is an overwhelming experience. Preparing for a baby's needs, from clothes to food to a space in the house for the baby to sleep, is a taxing ordeal -- not too mention the physical hardships associated with labor. Free gifts for first time mothers are available through a variety of networks. Many commercial businesses and community charities participate in providing first time moms with gifts -- contact product providers or local family-oriented organizations for details.

  1. Free Formula

    • Many businesses specializing in baby food offer free formula programs. The Enfamil Company, for example, provides opportunities for new mothers to receive free baby formula and related products. According to Free Gifts 4 Kids, this company offers over $200 in discounts and free product coupons from baby formula samples and baby supply carriers -- which can hold blankets, bottles or formula -- to individual bottle coolers. The bottle cooler allows a mother on-the-go to insert a chilled bottle into an insulated, zip-lock container to keep the formula cold.

    Free Information and Advice

    • Babble.com, a pregnancy motherhood website, offers free information and advice to expectant and first time mothers. Signing up for the company's newsletter provides a monthly gift of nutrition suggestions and information, OB/GYN health tips and medical advice for moms and babies to stay healthy and guide sheets providing helpful tips and suggestions to keep mothers on top of their to-do lists and successful in their preparation for a baby.

    Rest and Relaxation

    • Help out a first time mother by offering to baby sit. An offer to stay with a child for several hours bi-weekly or once a month allows the mother -- and even her spouse -- a time to look forward to where she can rest and relax without having to care for her child. A mother can use this time reading in the park, going for a massage, having dinner with girlfriends or simply taking a stroll through a park. Parenting is a 24 hours a day, seven day a week job, and rest and relaxation makes for a wonderful gift.

    Free Magazine Subscription

    • New mothers may also benefit from the gift of a free magazine. Sign up for a two year subscription of "American Baby Magazine" and pay only half of the price. In other words, receive a free full year of the magazine for free. "American Baby" provides mothers with vital health and educational information for your child, along with helpful advice and parenting stories. A friend can even give the gift by submitting her own billing information -- to cover the initial charge -- and the first time mother's shipping address for her to receive the literature.
