The first thing that raises the eyebrows of many new parents is the amount of money that they find they are spending on diapers. Newborns can easily go through several diapers a day and if you don't change your baby often enough, allowing her to sit in urine or feces will result in diaper rash.

Getting free diapers can be a real help and yes, it's for real. Hitting up major baby themed websites and baby suppliers are excellent ways of finding free baby diapers. Most of these companies will require that you fill out a survey and sometimes more than one survey. Often the surveys will ask questions such as what types of food, diapers, toys and other baby gear you're planning on purchasing in the next 6 months. Be honest and answer. You may have to join a mailing list but it's still free.

The place you need to draw the line is when companies ask you to pay a fee of any kind, including shipping for your free baby diapers. There are too many companies giving away products simply for your taking the time to give them valuable demographic information about your spending habits for your baby.

The Internet is a valuable source of free baby diaper sources, also when you take your baby in for her check-ups, take a look at the magazines in your doctor's office - those are another rich source that won't cost you a dime to investigate.
