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.

Overall I thought it was a very thoughtfully put together bag. A mix of practical (vitamins and nappy) and nice for mum (the mocktails).

It was a lovely gift to receive. It had all the essentials. I love trialing new products and seeing what is out there.

Really like everything offered in this bag - I feel like there was a big range of items which is great, and most of which I hadnt heard of before, so thats great to learn of other things on offer.

It was a nice surprise to receive this bag, as this is my first pregnancy I enjoyed reading through each product and finding some extras products to purchase that I had not heard or seen before. Great gift for first time mums who are unsure of what we need for a new baby!
Very nice idea- useful samples particularly the nappies and wipes, but these are essential goods from the market leaders- things we would have bought any way. Things like the body oil are something that i wouldnt ordinarily buy so its nice to sample it, and Id be open to buying it now. The cherub brochure is good too- Ive bought cherub products previously, but didnt know about some of these other things in their line up.

Great product selection and I learnt so much about the baby/mama products that I knew nothing about. Thank you for providing the product info and samples!

This bag was amazing and so helpful with knowing what to buy with my little baby on the way. Love that it gave little samples so we could try everything out before buying the full product . Thank you so much

I think that this is a great product that gives overwhelmed mothers to be options and samples of brands. A lot of the purchases I have made in the past have been based purely on recommendations and personal reviews as there is just a sheer avalanche of options. Being able to try the products ourselves is an added advantage to assist expectant mothers in feeling satisfied with their decision making processes and helps in justifying the often exorbitant costs of baby related products.

One of the best newborn bags ever. It has a lot of different samples thats are useful compared to other bags received in hospital / pharmacys
It's a great initiative for new parents to try before they commit into purchasing items. However more than one nappy of the same brand should be provided to allow for better trial (at least 3)

Love it so much! When I was pregnant with my first child I never got anything like this until after I gave birth which was your generic bag at the hospital after birth so this was a lovely lovely surprise to get given while pregnant

I love receiving it, I knew some of the products/brands but discovered some others. The multimam is a must have, I was glad to get it!

With my firstborn, as a first time mum I really had no idea what I would need. Baobag helped a lot for this, it was great to read about every brand and trial them out without having to risk buying and not loving.Also SO nice to receive a little gift for being pregnant. Most of the time when visiting doctors you get lots of needles and scans, so baobag is a lovely touch

Its great to receive these bags as it introduces you to products that can help with issues you didnt know there was help for. Great to discover new brands and solutions.
With the surgery, there were a few items we didnt receive. The survey would be better if there was a drop list of items that we could select we received. Some items I didnt receive and I still had to provide a rating. Overall, the bag was fantastic! It was a lovely surprise at our obstetrician appointment and makes the whole pregnancy journey feel so real as we need to think about what to buy when the baby is here. A great way to try before I buy and also great to know how many brands/companies are out there as more choice is always good

I didnt know Id receive this bag so it was a nice surprise at my first OB appointment. Being a first time mum I really like the idea of having some samples that I can test out before buying a big packet. I also love the sample packets for taking with me in my nappy bag or keeping in the car as a spare. I think its a really good idea giving every new mum this little bag

I found the bag really interesting, there's so many things to navigate with a new baby it's good to get some information (and not just rely on targeted ads online). Liked the little samples, they are really useful.

Loved receiving this bag as a gift when we went to get our 3D/4D scan of baby girl. Such a nice little surprise and full of so many goodies.

Thought this was an awesome little pack to pick up at the scan clinic. Enjoyed reading about the products and receiving some samples that Id seen but never tried. Will definitely be purchasing some of the samples I got moving forward. Presentation of the bag was also great! Nice and compact. Very happy with it!
Really helpful to get a range of samples to try out and then research and purchase what you likeIts hard to know where to start being a new mum so samples help you get started
