Life sometimes feels overwhelming when you are an expectant mother. There are so many things you need to have in place before your baby arrives, and so many expenses.
When we were expecting our first one, I jumped on the internet to find out what was available for free baby stuff in Canada.
While it is impossible not to feel a bit jealous that our neighbours down south have many more options, Canadians are not totally left behind when it comes to getting baby freebies.

In addition to these offers, you should also check out the free baby gear available from Mothers Lounge. When you use the promotion code SAVVY50, you get the items below free of charge and only need to pay for shipping.
While the shipping is in USD, the value of the products far exceeds the shipping costs.
They offer:

I feel like it should be mentioned here that the items from mothers lounge are in US$… I bought a few things and didn’t see it clearly marked anywhere until I looked at my bank statement and noticed the exchange. It would have been good to know… especially since this list is for Canadians.
the hooded towel no longer accepts SAVVY50
@Amanda: Sorry about that. The issue has been fixed and the code is now working.
The savvy50 code isn’t working on any of the sites.
@Laura: I just checked it and the SAVVY50 promo code is working on all the sites as expected. You may want to try again. Cheers.
Canada no longer offers Babyboxco. And no longer offers Thyme Maternity. However you forgot the best ones which are WALMART, BABIESRUS, and BUYBUYBABY!!!
@Mariah – Thanks for letting me know!
The Welcome Wagon link says the connection is not private, and does not load on multiple tris.
@BFS: You are right. I will monitor it for a bit and see whether it comes back live or not.
This was so helpful especially for a new parent and immigrant like myself. Thanks
@Prisca: You are welcome!
Hello Enoch Omololu,
Thanks for sharing the good list of babi freebies for Canada and this would be more helpful everywhere in the world.
This can be handy for sunny days. Some double strollers have side panels that can be removed. This allows you to use your child’s car seat inside the stroller. If your infant is old enough, consider an infant seat carrier instead of a stand-up chair.
How can I register for get free baby things
This was extremely helpful, Thank you so much !
@Maimuna: You are welcome. Glad it helped!
The buybuybaby registry gift is definitely one of the most useful! You just have to make a registry and then go to a buybuybaby store and pickup your registry swag bag. They have so many great samples and even included a lot of informational content. Definitely recommend this one! The babies r us one is also good!
@Becca: Thanks for your feedback.
