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 loved receiving a BaoBag full of samples for me to try for myself and my baby! I think its the best way to try out new products without having to purchase an entire pack of something. Very grateful to have received this bag.

Thank you for the bags. Nappies wipes and very relevant and great freebies. Great additions to a bag are multivitamins to mum, Nipple care is great option Skin care for babies like lotions etc are a great idea for freebies. Also discounts on swaddles/sleep sacks is helpful. Info on maternal mental health and help is great too

Great little bag! I really like the addition of the cherub brochure and the Canberra baby magazine. Very good guys of information.

Loved it! I love learning about good quality products. I always prefer to buy 1 great quality product than 10 bad ones. As a first time mum, it was very helpful to get samples and catalogues from these products.
It was a nice surprise to receive this bag when I went to hospital to see my obstetrician. There are a couple for things in here that I'll look in to as they seem to fit in with my values on looking after the environment and also using some pretty smart tools.

I think the BaoBag is such a wonderful initiative in place especially for first-time mums. There are so many items on the market for baby and mum these days, it's often hard to work out what you need/what is going to be useful. The introduction of the BaoBag takes the guess work out and allows you to sample ethical and useful products before purchasing. Thank you!

The products included in this bag were all such great quality, and importantly they are all really useful. Such a brilliant little bag.

This bag is super useful for parents. As a third time parent you have really captured some really good items that would really benefit first time parents Most of the items are my must have items that I have found through trial and error. And it is also good to see how the products have evolved since I first saw /heard of them when I was a first time parent. So I would highly recommend the bao bag to my friends and family.

Great idea! I love how they have samples so you can give different products a go before buying. All 3 pregnancies received one and it helped me decide the wipes nd nappies I would use for my newborn.
Its a great bag to receive as an expectant / new mum. A great way to be introduced to brands and products that you may end up living for your baby!

Nice little touch for my appointment! Love the idea. Also think its very helpful for new mums to become aquatinted with products theyve probably not used before and get a feel for what items work for them without having to buy the whole product and find out its not for them. Also great for discovering companies/ products youve never heard of but find you really enjoy.

Not necessarily what's in the bag, but I didn't expect to get anything at this scan and then was handed a bag of goodies :) I was so excited! This bag is way better than the bags they give you at the chemist. The items are much more useful.

It was really nice to receive the bag. It got us started on our journey to find baby products as it is a bit overwhelming trying to figure out what we need and what the good brands are. It cane at a really good time being 22 weeks pregnant. Also really like the cute totebag and will come in handy for when bub arrives

I absolutely love this. I went to my 13 week scan and they said wait you need one of these. I just thought it was such a nice gesture. I didnt even know such things existed.
Love this package! Like a little bundle of helpful tips you would receive in a mum group. So wonderful to see new companies and Australian brands being represented.

The Baobag would have to be the best I received. I love the drawstring bag and it had alot of good information and samples. I did feel like I one the lottery when I pulled out the nurofen so good!

Was so lovely to receive a helpful assortment of baby items on the arrival of our baby. So lovely to go through some samples and have an idea of some new products. There are so many brands out there it is hard to know what to go for if you havent done it before. You dont know what is good without trying it. Loved the swaddle too.

What a fantastic initiative. Being new parents can be hard, especially in the digital age with so much access to information. There are so many products available for babies and it is difficult to navigate them all and understand which will be the best for your child. The BaoBag is such a great idea as it provides parents with an opportunity to trial products that they may not be so familiar with before committing to ongoing purchase. As a General Practitioner, it will also help me to recommend products to my patients that I know and trust for my own children. I love the design of the bag, but it would be even better if it was a tote bag that could double as a shopping bag, too. Just an idea! Thank you so much for this wonderful gift at such an important time of our lives.

I like that the bag is made of cloth and that it is reusable. The products align with my consumer identity i.e. natural, unscented, eco-conscious. Of all the baby tester bags Ive received so far, it is definitely my favourite!
A great little bag with some useful goodies in there. I particularly like samples with a single card to outline what the product is, instead of a booklet with many words as expecting mums are already overwhelmed with information and have little time to read (especially being a mum of a toddler as well). For new mums, Id suggest putting in more mental health resources in the back, or tips and ideas or apps that can help support that very tough post partum period between newborn to 6 months. I must say I appreciated the simplicity of this baobag, it wasnt overloaded with pamphlets and had a good mix of pregnancy and post partum products and services.
