Presented in a beautiful, reusable calico bag, our Maternal BaoBags are full of useful products to nurture women on their journeys through pregnancy and birth and beyond. They are provided as a gift through participating pre & postpartum healthcare providers.

What a lovely idea for our 20 week scan, thank you very much!

I was actually really surprised at how useful all the items were in the BaoBag. I received a few similar goodie bags during my last pregnancy that were not great - products nearing expiry or just not that relevant. I have a use for every item in the bag I received and if its not part of my hospital bag it was a reminder to buy more of that item for the hospital bag (like the newborn nappies). Some postpartum pads could be a good addition to the bag rotation too, as its another thing that makes you feel that extra bit sorted for babys arrival. Otherwise, thank you!

Love to have all the samples and information leaflet in the cute little bag. Even though this is my second time pregnant but I still have lots to learn.

I really appreciated receiving the BaoBagit was such a thoughtful and useful collection of products for new parents. Even though I know the items can vary, I was impressed with the variety of samples included. It gave me a chance to try out products I might not have considered before, and the mix of essentials was very convenient. The bag itself was also a nice touchpractical and sturdy, which Ive been able to repurpose for other uses. Overall, I loved the concept, and it felt like a generous and well-curated introduction to products tailored to my needs.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Bao Bag. My husband picked it up in the waiting room, i kind of shrugged, we already had a sample bag from the hospital and i didn't think much of it.This one was different.The bag itself is great. It's tasteful and not covered in branding and will get plenty of reuse.The samples I received are useful, and introduce a few products I didn't know about, along with some steady favorites.The vouchers were really well suited to me and will be used to help me navigate the new normal when my husband returns to work.The whole bag was well put together and i'm really grateful that we picked it up. I also received the Canberra Baby Directory in my bag, which may have been slipped in by the provider i got it from(?). I found having this guide was really useful too, i was aware of lots of the services within, but it served as a good reminder and also introduced me to some new ones.

Great little gift from our ultrasound specialists. My favourite is the pure mama body oil. It's beautiful. Will be buying that.

I love receiving bags like this. Ive always loved trying new products and this offers it to me. It gives parents a chance to try new products or be introduced to a product that they may not have been exposed to otherwise.

The BaoBag is a really nice surprise from my OB. Some great brands to try and also some super useful reading materiel. Honestly, the thing Im most excited for is the Dinner Ladies voucher. Would be good to see some maternal products in there also (such as disposable underwear sample, a nipple cream etc). Overall a lovely little package though :-)

I like that I received some different items compared to my first baby because I like trying and exploring new products and sample sizes are great for trying without paying a lot of money at first. Also if a company brings out a new version of their product I'm not aware of then it is a great way to introduce me to a alternative, for example huggies 99% baby wipes compared to their standard baby wipes. I like the brand but I prefer to buy natural products so I am now more aware (or reminded) that huggies has both products available.
Very thoughtful and comprehensive. Loved that I received this at my ultrasound scan as it was unexpected! Thank you

It was lovely to receive something for me to look through and get samples to try early in my pregnancy. I feel this has helped me with some self care and helped me to start organising and getting ready for my baby.

The bao bag was really good it the first time I've gotten one and had so many things in it. 100 time better then any of the bounty bag I have received this pregnancy.

These bags are really good so you can sample a variety of products. Especially something like nappies for example, its not something you can try one or two of without then being stuck with a whole packet of nappies that youre not happy with.

Perhaps I received a bag that missed a few items. However do love! And grateful for the gift. All has been a blessing for my baby and I. My baby was a big bubby so the newborn nappies we couldnt use but will pass them on to a friend
The BaoBag was the most helpful sample bag given to new parents. The bag itself is great and we have been reusing it for storing bubs nappies when out and about.

Great little gift for trials. Especially thr pure mama oil it is the best and Im in love with it. Nurofen and huggies nappies were also a great give away

I was very pleasantly surprised to receive the Baobag and thought the product samples and vouchers inside were very thoughtfully curated for a new mum. I wish I had received something like it when I had my first baby in 2021

I was very pleasantly surprised to receive this bag, I had no idea I would be receiving this when I went for a private ultrasound. This is my second pregnancy after a miscarriage earlier in the year, and I havent yet let myself buy anything for the baby because of how painful my loss was previously. I was so scared that if I lost this baby all the things I bought would just remind me. I cried when I opened this bag to see all sorts of goodies for my little baby and it made it all feel so much more real.

Loved it as a first time expecting mum as I want to try lots of brands to find ones I love
Suggestion: A snack option for mum to be and something for dad
