Where You Can Get Free Gifts For New Babies

My friend Lynnette wrote the book on free pregnancy and baby stuff.

Her easy-to-click list has over 16 free things you can order.

But Lynnette, I've found a few free baby things you missed!  Here are 3 places you can find pregnancy gifts in your own community:

1.  Your Health Insurance Company

I'm embarassed to say it took me 3 pregnancies to learn about Blue Cross Blue Shield's pregancy freebies.  Soon after your first OB visit, watch the mail for a postcard asking you to sign up. 

Depending on your insurance company, you might receive a free copy of What To Expect When You're Expecting or home visits from a nurse after the baby is born.

 2.  Local Pregnancy Fairs

These booth-filled events are usually sponsored by the health department, a local hospital, or your city's parent publication.  They're definitely worth attending!

Fill a totebag with free literature about local baby resources, speak with doulas about natural birth, find coupons for baby products and young children's activities.  I never had to buy a pacificer or nursing pads after visiting one giant baby fair!

3.  Books From Birth

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library will send a free book each month to every child from birth to age 5.  See if your state participates in this awesome gift! 

These high-quality books are designed to build your baby's library and vocabulary.  Sign up now!
