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.

This was such a fun surprise to get from my gender reveal scan. Im a first time expecting mum and have no idea about any products except what I get bombarded with in instagram advertising (which is honestly just overwhelming and not helpful!). This pack felt really thoughtful and helpful and I am actually thinking of making something similar for baby shower presents buying the same brands that came in this pack . I think it wouldnt have been so helpful to receive baby food as its going to be well over a year from now until needed!Some of the other mentioned products that are more relevant for support during pregnancy would have been good! There are still many months to wait til I meet my little one but Im still thankful to start my collection of necessities!!

I think this bag is an excellent gift to parents with a newborn as every child is different and trying to figure out what works can be quite costly and wasteful. I would say I have an increased level of respect for all of these brands now that I have seen that they provide samples as that is a cost they did not have to bear. Some of the samples provided were quite generous such as the Nurofen bottle. Being a first time mum has been daunting and has felt isolating at times. While some products did not work out, receiving the Baobag made me feel cared for and was a nice addition for what was not such a nice appointment (baby's vaccinations). Thanks heaps!

Such a great gift for new mums really helps after a difficult labour to feel like youre looked after, feels authentic and caring for brands to contribute which will lead to us purchasing from those companies in the future

I was so surprised to open this bag and find so many amazing samples of products. Usually these kind of offerings are unknown brands, or products that arent useful. I would find great use in almost all of these offerings and I am grateful to have received the BaoBag.
Its great to get to know some common baby brands and also information! Having a baby is a whole new world so its a great initial starting point

This bag is extremely useful for nre parents. Thank you for the work you do to help new parents settle into their new routine

Such a lovely idea for first time mums who have no idea where to start with products.

The quality of the products is fantastic and well exceeded my expectations. It is so nice as an expectant mum to be able to try out new products as at times, the market can be super overwhelming and you can't tell what is good or bad from just looking. These products made me feel special in the lead up to giving birth and I loved that they are for me and my baby to enjoy! Great product, thank you

I absolutely loved this bag - what a great way to help prepare for being a new mum. As I am pregnant with my first child, there was a lot of new information in this bag that has been incredibly helpful to help familiarise me with the range of products available. I love the testers, it's a great way to introduce a product and will help me to make a decision on my preferences once baby comes.

Such a lovely idea and definitely worth while the advertising for these brands. I unfortunately am not in a financial position to try out different brands to experiment which was best for me and my family. With these bags i was able to try out some new products and have definilty found favourites i will continue to purchase as my next newborn approaches

This bag included a great range of products that were convenient to be able to try out before committing to purchasing - especially the nappies which you often cant try without buying at least 30 in a packet. I found that the bag was geared not only towards my newborn but had products for my older children to try as well which was really nice.

Overall I liked the variety of products and the pamphlets and information, I have found the information interesting, I would have liked some more eco friendly items and maybe some items like nipple balm or breastfeeding teas and electrolyte style drinks for labour or use after birth that are breastfeeding safe
Love the excitement of opening the bag and discovering the treats inside. The small samples are very useful for the hospital bag, or nappy bag, or even just as emergency supplies at home. I think it gives the brands good exposure, and makes me more likely to test things out as you dont always feel confident buying a whole big bag of nappies without feeling them first. Nice fabric bag to keep, still have the one from my first baby and used it for storage.

i think that its a lovely gift to give expecting mothers with all the information packs as well as the beautiful gifts included. i am truely grateful for my BaoBag

Absolutely loved receiving the bag. It is fantastic to try out some pregnancy products. Its also great to read up on information about pregnancy, birth and parenting from the natural parent magazine I received too.

Overall I think this is a great way to support families and mums in navigating the market when it comes to baby products. Loved being able to sample things.

Really impressed by this bag and the high quality samples included. Theyre all really useful and brands I know or am keen to try. One of the best sample bags I have received as a parent.
I really liked the boa bag, there were some items I didnt get and would have loved to. It was nice to read about Gidget Foundation as I really struggled with my first and will access this support if I struggle with the second. It would be nice to have some information on Early Intervention, breastfeeding and sleeping as I think theres a real lack of knowledge in the community and its hard to find support that doesnt cost an arm and a leg.
