Your Toddler box will be sent to you when your baby enters into next stage, about three months after your Walmart Baby Box Or Walmart New Born Box. The Walmart Toddler Box and the Baby Box are free, but you have to pay $5 for shipping. You can say that the Box costs you $5.

Compared to Target Baby Bag and Amazon Baby Box, my rating for Walmart Baby Box would be – an “OK”!

I canceled mine as soon as I received the trail kits.

3. Diapers Rewards Program:
- Both the Pampers Rewards Program and Huggies Rewards Program have a rewards program through which you could get toys, gift cards and more. Once the baby is born and till he or she is two years old, we would be buying the diapers and wipes no matter what!! Personally, I used and had been using Pampers Rewards program. With the points I collected so far, we are eligible for below baby products. All you have to do is take those rewards out of the diaper packets and keep them in one place so that you can log them when you are ready to. I know it’s work!
4. Baby Formula:
My daughter was allergic to milk-based formula initially. She had the milk based formula when she was born. She was completely fine. But one fine day she would through up. We took some time to figure out what was going on. I did not cross our mind that she would be allergic to milk-based formula as she was okay a couple of months back. We had to try different types of formula like gentle, sensitive etc to see if her tummy would feel better. None worked. We would buy a full canister, and after a scoop, the formula tub would go straight into the trash. She was just throwing up after a scoop. We could not find any sample packs. It was a waste of money and also a waste of valuable food. Finally, when we switched her to the Soy-based formula, she was all right. I wanted to get her back to milk-based formula as she was previously fine drinking milk-based formula. This time, I reached out to the companies. I was so glad I did. I got such great support and also came to know about different brands offering FREE sample packs! It was a perfect way to try.
