Free Stuff for New Moms 2026

What you get: A breast pump you keep or rent, plus breastfeeding support and counseling. HealthCare.gov says Marketplace plans and most other plans must cover these for as long as you breastfeed. Grandfathered plans are the exception.

What it takes: Call the number on your insurance card and ask which pumps are covered and which suppliers they use. Plans differ on manual vs. electric, rental vs. purchase, and when you can order.

What you get: Aeroflow checks your coverage, gets the prescription from your doctor and ships the pump. It can also bill your plan for replacement parts and milk storage bags.

What it takes: Fill out its qualify-through-insurance form with your due date and insurance details. The basic covered pump is usually $0; nicer models (wearable, battery) carry an upgrade fee you pay yourself, up to a few hundred dollars depending on your plan.

What you get: Monthly benefits for healthy food, infant formula if you need it, nutrition counseling and breastfeeding support. Covers pregnant women, moms up to 6 months after birth (up to a year if breastfeeding), and kids under 5.

What it takes: Gross household income at or below 185% of the federal poverty guidelines, living in the state where you apply, and a nutrition-risk check at the WIC office. If you get Medicaid or SNAP you usually meet the income test already.

What you get: Prenatal care, delivery and postpartum care. States can now keep postpartum Medicaid going for 12 months after birth instead of the old 60 days, and most have.

What it takes: Pregnancy has its own income limits, often higher than for other adults, so check even if you didn't qualify before. Apply through your state Medicaid office or HealthCare.gov; KFF tracks each state's postpartum rules.

What you get: Free breastfeeding meetings and one-on-one help from trained volunteer leaders: latch, supply, pumping, milk storage.

What it takes: Find a local or online group on the La Leche League USA site. Leaders help by phone, email and text between meetings too.

What you get: The National Maternal Mental Health Hotline (call or text 1-833-852-6262) is free, confidential and open 24/7 in English and Spanish. Postpartum Support International runs a helpline (1-800-944-4773) and more than 50 free online support groups.

What it takes: No signup. Call, text or join a group from the PSI site.

What you get: Possible formula samples, checks that work like coupons at major stores, cash-back rebates in the app, and a sweepstakes for a year of formula. Enfamil calls it up to $400 in savings.

What it takes: Sign up with your due date or baby's birth date. Most of that $400 only pays off if you buy Enfamil.

What you get: A welcome kit with formula samples for new members, then coupons and points from scanning Similac cans.

What it takes: Sign up at similac.com. Samples are while supplies last, and Similac says a shipping fee may apply.

What you get: Gerber formula samples and offers when they have them.

What it takes: Join free and check the box for infant formula samples. Gerber doesn't promise everyone a sample.

What you get: $10 in Pampers Cash for every 10 codes you scan, usable on Pampers discounts in the rewards catalog. Most boxes have 2 codes.

What it takes: Download the free app and scan the code printed inside each diaper or wipes pack. Pampers Cash expires 6 months after you earn it.

What you get: 500 points for joining, then points on Huggies diapers and wipes, redeemable for diapers, gift cards and other rewards.

What it takes: Photograph and upload your receipt in the app or online; processing takes up to 48 hours. The old in-pack reward codes are gone, so receipts are the only way to earn.

What you get: Samples mailed to you plus Target Circle bonus offers. Target puts the kit at $100. Separately, you get a 15% off completion coupon eight weeks before your due date.

What it takes: Join Target Circle (free), create a baby registry, add 10 different items and have more than $10 bought from it. One kit per year.

What you get: A box of samples, claimed with a $35 promotional balance so it costs nothing at checkout. The registry also gets a 15% completion discount starting 60 days before your due date (capped at $300 off).

What it takes: Needs an active Prime membership, 10 items from Amazon's registry checklist and more than $10 of registry purchases shipped. Contiguous US only.

What you get: A box of baby product samples for the first couple of months.

What it takes: Add 3 items from other stores, finish 40% of the checklist, have $30 bought from the Babylist Shop, then pay $8.95 shipping. Your due date has to be within 9 months, or the baby under 4 weeks old.
