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.
A very useful sample selection for the expectant mum! As a first time mother knowing what things to trial or what I need has been very overwhelming- a sentiment expressed by other new mums in my group. Having a sample bag was very useful as just being exposed to a selection of brands takes away some of the overwhelming choice and will lead to likely future purchase. Also gives a general idea on things to have on hand.
We were so excited to get this bag as there were new products in it we havent tried before. The sample sizes are generous and the products are varied which I like. I like the many brands of nappies to try as it lets us see what will suit this bub best - important too as this one is a girl and our others are boys so they may fit differently
It was a nice mix of items for baby and for me as a mother. The body oil was really nice for a pamper, and Ill get some more. Its also nice to compare brands in nappies and wipes, because theyre expensive and you dont want to buy a whole packet necessarily.
Love the bag, has been great to try out products have have never sued before. Being our fourth child always open to use and try new products on the market
I was completely surprised when I received my bag from the scan place. It was a nice little gift after my scan :-). Having a baby is an expensive process - especially when the journey involved IVF and youre doing it alone so any small gifts/freebies are appreciated and feel like a bonus! Having read some of the other products that are sometimes in the bag has given me something to research further and enquire about atvthe upcoming baby expo. I think its a great idea to give samples - especially for first time mums who otherwise may have no idea a brand exists or its purpose.

I was thrilled to receive the contents of my Baobag! I even sent a picture of the contents of great very needed products to my husband once I opened it! I didnt expect to receive such quality products in the Baobag, I just expected a bag full of marketing coupons, but was so happy with all of the little treats featured inside! Thank you very much!
A great and generous way to be introduced to a cross section of interesting brands I had otherwise not heard of, or to be reminded of brands I hadnt tried in a while (given its been a couple of years since having my last baby) - otherwise you tend to just stick to what you know! A good mix of products & information in the bag too. I will also reuse the actual bag - have put it in my car with spare nappies & wipes for when Im on the go!
My overall thoughts were positive! I loved the inclusion of a mental health line, maybe somthing like that for dads too would be good. I would love to see more education on eco friendly and reusable products as well as some information on local parent fitness groups or online resources to feel fitter and healthier! I loved the fact that some bags come with voucher for meals as eating well is tricky while navigating parenthood.
I am very happy with the BaoBag that I received on the first day of arrival at the hospital. During my spare time here , I looked at different coupons and bought DinnerLadies and Bonds. Still considering to buy more as well. Thanks for that
I found the bag useful as I wasn't aware of many of the brands and products even though I have 3 children already.

Great little bag of goodies ranging from discount codes, samples to full size products. It was a really nice inclusion from my hospital on delivery day

Very substantial and even the canvas bag is nice!
It was the sweetest and most considerate kind gesture to have received mid way through my pregnancy. Having been 6 years since my last pregnancy, it was also useful to be reminded and also educated on different/new products available.
This was a really nice surprise to receive after our 20 week scan. As first time parents it has felt somewhat overwhelming getting our heads around the new world of baby stuff, so it has been awesome to feel like we can try some products and I felt excited to look after myself with the stretch mark products. I am also excited to read the magazine. I feel that the supplement samples are less useful - Ive already got my own regime. I like where there is the same kind of item from multiple brands so I can try two different wipes, for example. The brands in the BaoBag will definitely be in my mind once our baby arrives and we are shopping! The canvas bag itself is really useful and I like that it isnt plastic, as we see quite environmentally conscious. Some more Mum focused stuff would be awesome - my skin gets super dry so maybe moisturisers?
Am interested to use items. There is so many choices out there that samples really help

I think the packaging it stunning and the psck itself it not overload with literature which is not overwhelming and therefore I am drawn towards reviewing every brochure
Without getting into the details of products in the bag. Overall I was so happy to receive one at my reassurance scan, couldnt wait to get back home to pull all the samples and information brochures apart. After seeing that bub was healthy in the scan, I finally allowed myself to get excited for the whole pregnancy - the BaoBag came at the perfect time! It was the warm introduction to the amazing world of motherhood I needed. Thank you!
It was very nice to feel special and cared about as a mum. I loved the samples and I loved the flyers that were in there! I love how some of the packaging is super useful for travel size things as well, makes it feel practical and not like a waste of a sample.
I am very grateful to have received a baobag. It had useful items inside and gave ideas on what else might be needed or wanted. Displayed in a very nice way.
Its a nice introduction to products giving you the option to try and do research. As a first time mum there are so many option and a lot of options you dont know about. The Baobag is a great way to learn about different productions available.
