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.
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.

Loved receiving this bag was an incentive to try and explore new things for myself/husband and baby. Loved to look at all the goodies and see what options are out there. You dont buy what you dont know exists. Was very happy to purchase myself products tried and sampled in this bag! Thank you!

Lovely surprise.Sample sizes are great to test a product.Would love a list of stockists for each product.
Great to receive a range of samples. So many baby products out there. Expensive to buy and try
I absolutely love the idea of these bags! Thank you so much! Baby ideas can be so expensive so its nice to try little samples of things! I didnt know that this was even a possibility and its amazing!
Loved the bag. Was a delight to go through while sitting in hospital post cesarean

I was extremely happy to receive the baobag after my recent scan, as it gives me the opportunity to learn about some brands and baby products that I wasnt previously aware of. A master booklet that contains some overall information around brands and products an expecting mother would need, would be a great addition to the baobag, to give the overall view. I really like that I was able to make some plans for purchase after receiving some of these samples.
I actually was really amazed at how many samples were in it. As a new parent, buying baby products is very overwhelming and expensive, especially if the product doesn't work for you. It's great to be able to try something before buying and learning about different brands.
Who doesnt love a freebie?! But especially useful products for first-time parents is of great value when there can be a lot of confusion and marketing overload online.
I loved receiving the bag, it was an unexpected surprise in hospital and had many handy things in it. Love the actual bag it came in too as I can reuse it.
I found the samples in the bag useful, especially the 'Soap 2 Go' hand spray.
