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.

I really appreciated the sample products and the opportunity to be introduced to products I hadnt heard of such as Juca pouches.

I think it is a really nice mix of items, especially for first time parents that have not got a lot of experience with what you need when having a child. Its great to be able to try lots of different products to see what work for our specific baby and needs. I think its good to keep on top of new and emerging baby/mum trends, so that new parents can try out products without having to commit to a full purchase.

I think its such an exciting way to expose new parents to what is out there. Coming from my midwife it also feels like the items are trusted by professionals and things parents can feel confident to buy. Its so overwhelming with all the options and the BaoBag has made it easier to sample/buy products.

I think its a great idea especially for new mums or mums like myself who havent had a baby in a little while who might not be familiar with the range of baby products available. It can be quite overwhelming so to be given options to try I think that can alleviate some of the pressure for parents
Its a fantastic solutionI was pleasantly surprised to receive this bag filled with various testers and products. Its great to have the chance to try different items and find the perfect one for yourself. For those expecting their first child, having access to this information is incredibly valuable.

It was great seeing to try new products and it made me more aware of things I might need for my new baby. I hadnt considered having pain relief (neurofen) for children on hand before, but Im definitely buying some now to be prepared. I hadnt considered a baby photography shoot before, but I think we will organise one now. It was really good to be able to assess the quality of the baby wipes and nappies, and reminded me I needed to buy these items in preparation for my new baby - I actually bought a box of Huggies nappies and wipes when they were on special at Coles. It was great to see support information such as from the Gidget Foundation - this let me know I have help available if I need it.

The Baobag goody bag feels like a little treasure trove of parenting essentials! Whether youve received all the products or just a few, its a brilliant introduction to some standout baby-care brands. Its like Baobag has done the legwork for us parents, curating only the best of the best for our babies (and lets be honest, our sanity). From gentle nappy creams to eco-friendly wipes, and belly oils that make you feel like a goddess, every item feels thoughtfully selected. I love that it balances practicality with pamperingbecause, lets face it, new parents need a bit of both. Whether you're prepping for a newborn or sharing goodies with fellow moms, Baobag is a delightful mix of fun surprises and must-have essentials. If they didnt give you everything, it's just an excuse to keep exploring!

I have received several bao bags over the last few years and I keep the bag to use for packing spare clothes in the baby bag. Love that it's decent quality that I can reuse.

It was a great bag to receive, it had products that I hadn't heard of or considered e.g. the Belamy 6month+ food and the bedhead sunhat. Being pregnant/new parent can be overwhelming with the decisions that you have to make so having products that you can trial and see is really helpful.
As a first time parent with a baby who required additional needs the BaoBag came as a surprise during the days of concern and confusion. Not everyone has the same experiences when their baby is born and receiving an unexpected a gift that provides information and advice was well received.Our daughter still needs to use the ferros nasal spray to ensure her airway is clear and without the BaoBag I would never had had that information.

We attended a pregnancy class and this bag was waiting for us on the seat! We love the travel sized wipe packs. Small items like nipple compresses are very useful. A number of these items will make their way into our hospital bag/baby room setup. It's nice to get a variety of items in a sample size to try out and see. The baby industry to a little terrifying with how complex and seemingly marketing focused. We just want a happy healthy baby and we feel like the bag has some very useful items for us

I love getting the variety to tell you about products you might not have thought of to help you feel more prepared

It was such a lovely surprise to receive. My partner loved getting it too as they gave it to us after our first session with the OB. He instantly opened it up to have a look and it started a number of conversations between us on the trip home about what I and the baby need/will need, which taught him a few new things. This is meaningful to us because were first time parents so the bag was a really easy and accessible way to discuss new topics on the pregnant/birth journey. I mentioned this earlier but the other great thing I found was that Ive been overwhelmed by so many brands in the pregnancy spaces times, seeing the bag contents was an easy way to say right, Ill use that oil, for example. As a new time mum theres so much to take in so this small help has made an outsized impact. And because the bag is so tastefully designed and feels good quality, it made it feel special and worth looking in. Its a great service you provide - so much more value than just the products!

Love the reusable bag it comes with. I store wipes and nappies in there and have it in my car for short trips into supermarket etc and I leave it in my car so Im never stuck without any. Love that the bag is washable and reusable and isnt plastic!
It was lovely to receive the bag, especially being on my third baby. I really liked the presentation and the bag itself. It will be living in my car with an emergency stash of nappies and wipes.

At first I thought not another sample bag but upon actually checking out the products provided I was very impressed! Some of the items I did not pack in hospital and actually so thankful I had these on hand (baby barrier cream, nipple compress). Even my husband said this bag was a lifesaver! The vouchers supplied are companies Ive heard of and wanted to try. And the vitamins supplied are also a brand Ive wanted to try and so important for post baby. Surprisingly amazed at the products provided.

Actual useable samples are more likely to encourage me to buy a product than advertising or vouchers. The bag itself has also come in handy! We use them for washing items and storing toys and bibs.

I really enjoyed receiving the bag because it meant I was able to actually trial products before committing to a full purchase. The baby market is so saturated and everyone has different opinions but also every baby reacts differently so by receiving the bag I could actually try things first. I really enjoyed trialling the products I did receive.

Loved the sustainable bag the products came in. Everything in the bag is useful and will not go to waste. I will pass on or donate the baby love nappies. I was very excited to see the JUCA food pouch because Id heard a little about them and wanted to know more. Its also nice receiving nurofen, especially considering the cost of living at the moment. Useful items are very thoughtful.
It is always nice to receive samples of products for babies. I would normally not be comfortable buying a big bag of it if I didnt know what it was like. Would usually stick with familiar brands.
