Free baby formula helps save money. Find a complete list of samples from Nature's One, Nestle Good Start, Similac, Enfamil and Parent's Choice to get baby freebies.
Breastfeeding is the method most mothers use to feed their babies in the United States, with more than 70% of all moms putting the baby to breast at least once according to 2005 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics. Some mothers can't breastfeed, some choose outright to formula feed, while many mothers successfully blend breastfeeding and formula feeding. Whatever the reason, for parents who turn to formula the cost can be tough on the budget, so getting as many baby freebies up front can help save money. Learn how to get free baby formula in this article.
Free Baby Formula
The easiest way to receive free baby formula samples - and a "sample" often means one or two full-sized cans of powdered formula, equaling more than 96 ounces when made into formula – is to go to the manufacturers' websites and sign up for the freebies.
Another, even simpler way that can be done on a lunch hour, or while holding a baby, is to call the manufacturers directly and asked to be placed on their formula coupon and sample lists.
The telephone numbers for free baby formula are:
Nature's One: (614) 898-9758, press #3
Similac: (800) 222-9546
Dairy and Soy Freebies
Some babies struggle to digest the proteins in dairy-based formula or the lactose sugars. Most formula is made from cow's milk, and babies who cannot handle cow's milk may need to switch to soy, just as moms who breastfeed a baby who can't handle cow's milk need to remove dairy from their diets, so the breast milk does not have the protein and/or lactose.
For parents who know from experience with previous babies that a new baby will likely need a soy-based formula, indicating this when calling for formula samples or formula coupons is crucial. When signing up on websites, as well, ask directly for soy-based formula.
Nestle Good Start, Similac, Enfamil, Nature's One and Parent's Choice
These five formula manufacturers all have websites with free samples included:
Nestle Good Start
Similar/Isomil
Enfamil/Prosoybee
Nature's One
Parent's Choice (Wal-Mart brand)
Nature's One is the only organic baby formula on the list, and the only formula manufacturer that does not use corn syrup in the product, but rather brown rice syrup. Otherwise, the ingredients in the products may be slightly different but all must meet basic artificial baby milk standards required by the Food and Drug Administration. The choice of brands is really a matter of baby preference and parental budget.
Advertisements and promotions for free baby formula abound, so do plenty of research and take advantage of every offer possible, in print and online, to get these otherwise expensive baby freebies.
