It’s getting to the point in my pregnancy (I’m over 6 months now!) where I am really starting to prepare for the arrival of our second child. We have already purchased a great toddler bed for Elliott, so the crib is ready to go for baby number two. We have all the clothing we need (for the most part) and I’m in the process of stocking up on diapers.
I have begun looking for all of the free baby/toddler samples that I can find and am surprised at how many are available to Canadians. I don’t remember getting this many freebies when I was pregnant with Elliott!

It’s always nice to receive free samples in the mail – especially when they are for products that are expensive to purchase in the stores. Thankfully, there are many companies that are willing to send samples to expecting parents. It’s a great way to test out their products before you actually buy a full size version.
I hope that this list of free baby samples for Canadians has helped you. I made sure to only include companies that I personally have received samples from. There are many baby freebies available, but I warn you to be cautious about the ones you sign up for, as there are many scams out there. The ones above are freebies that are legitimate and have been received not just by myself, but by many.
Enjoy!
If you have signed up for baby/toddler freebies before, please post in the comments about which ones you received.
Sorry, I did do a registry at Sears and Babies R Us and received those packages…except I guess I registered too close to the beginning of the year as all the coupons I received in my Sears package had expired! Make sure to check before leaving the store, maybe they just gave me an old package by mistake?
I signed up for everything and the only thing I ended up receiving was coupons and voucher from Johnson & Johnson for the Take Along Pack.
I just tried to sign up for the Shoppers V.I.B promotion. It says that it is expired. Just thought I would let you know! Thank you for all the info you provide to us!
I sent away for the Johnson & Johnson “Take Along Pack” and yesterday received the coupon for it plus 2 other Johnson coupons which will certainly come in handy! I pick up the Take Along Pack at Walmart today.
Linda: I would give them a call. It’s possible that they are just behind.
I signed up for the Nestle Baby program and I never got my diaper bag in the mail at all…and its past my due date. I emailed them about it but didn’t know if this happened to anyone else?
@ Annie… “SAVE ON FOODS” IS ONLY OUT WEST, ALBERTA, B.C.. http://www.saveonfoods.com/select-your-store?destination=node%2F120
Thanks you the info but Where can I find (safe on food) stores?? Or is there web link??

The hydra sense one never actually sends you anything. Myself and a few of my friends have never gotten one single thing thing back from them except countless emails.
I have a $5 enfamil coupon if anyone wants it. Expires April 4, 2012.
Never mind, I just went to their page and it worked! Thanks
When I go to the VIB page, it tells me it is expired
AG: Lots of Google surfing!
Also, many people on our Facebook page told me about some of these as well.
Amazing! I knew of some of these already but it’s VERY helpful to find more places with free stuff to give away! Thanks!!
Thanks for this info! BUT….I’m not preggers yet, although I’ve started up with Pampers & Huggies with their points (have a home daycare)!
How do you end up finding out all these freebies?
Thanks for sharing those other freebies!
Brooklynn: Thank you, I fixed it.
LG: It was free with Amazon.ca credits.
That, and we really don’t have the space for a twin. We already had an extra mattress from when we bought the crib awhile back, so the toddler bed/mattress cost us nothing.
Thirfty foods out on the west coast gives you a free birthday cake for your child’s first birthday. This is a fairly large slab cake with decorations and writing on it. It is about a $20 value. I have picked up one for several 1st birthdays in my family and they are really nice.
Thanks so much for sharing these links! I’m currently pregnant with my first child and i’m sooo very happy that you shared this info!
Thanks ms J xD
I’m due with my second child next month and appreciate you posting this information. I had already signed up with some of the companies, but wasn’t aware of others. Maria thanks to you as well for the information regarding the baby program at Sobey’s!
Shoppers drug Mart has a great “V.I.B” baby program.. You get a booklet of coupns to use that increase your amount of Optimum points, some smaples of soaps, shampoos etc… and a bib, a few other items I cant remember, but it was a great package!!!
Can I ask why you got a toddler bed? Personally I think these are a waste of money – either move them right into a single bed or put the mattress on the floor because now you had to buy a crib mattress when you probably had one for Elliott that the baby could have used versus just buying a single/twin mattress which will be good for a long time.
Your link for Enfamil Baby Club takes you to the Similac Baby Club.
Sobeys: register at the pharmacy for some great freebies too…
Sobeys has a baby program where you get:
-Free prenatal vitamins
-Free welcome kit
-Free Pharmacist consultation
-Baby savings
-Ongoing support for you and your baby
-E-Newsletter
sign up at http://www.sobeyspharmacy.com
It seems that you need to go to a Sobeys pharmacy to sign up for now, I couldn’t find the link on the website (it may not be up yet).
Update
You need to go to Sobeys to sign up. You will receive free vitamins for 2 years and have to go monthly to pick them up (works like a prescription). Great deal! Prenatal vitamins can be so costly but neccessary!
