6. BABYBUG Magazine Subscription

Add a gift issue so there is something to open before the first regular issue arrives.
We know waiting for your first magazine can feel like a long time, so we want to give you a clearer sense of what to expect. Our magazines are mailed on a set schedule, with a new issue arriving every other month.
When your subscription begins depends on where your order falls within that mailing cycle. If you subscribe shortly after a mailing has gone out, your subscription will begin with the following issue, which may still be several weeks away. Most subscribers receive their first magazine within 5–7 weeks after their order is processed, though delivery times can vary slightly by location.
If your magazine is missing or arrives damaged, please email cricketmedia@cdsfulfillment.com or call 1-800-821-0115, Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m. EST.
