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.

I think its a great offering to new mums. Its a great way to trial different products and get exposure to the brands that are out there. I think there is a much larger focus for environmentally friendly products at the moment and I feel that many of the brands included in the bags align with this. Both times Ive received the bag Ive been exposed to products and brands I have never heard of, and have subsequently become a loyal fan of.
I really did enjoy the bag. Its nice to try out different products and see what works for me and my baby before fully committing to a product. I was happy with the variety of products that was in the bag, and it was cool to see companies like the dinner ladies exist. I would have never known that I could use a service like that, will make my breastfeeding journey very easy, as I usually dont have time to get up and cook and nutritious meal for myself.
Thank you for providing this service! It is much appreciated because new and existing parents get to try new products, be exposed to different companies and brands and gain access to a range of helpful resources. The bag itself is also made from a lovely material and I use it to keep spare clothes for my baby in my nappy bag. Here's a little poem I wrote:With samples of nappies, and all things in between,The Bao Bag's offerings are fit for a queen.Helpful resources abound, for those in need,Guidance and support, for every parenting deed.With goodies and savings, it's a true delight,It's perfect for parents, from morning to night.
I wasnt expecting it, and I was pleasantly surprised ! It felt like a thoughtful gift as I was leaving to take my baby home. My husband thought it was great too
I loved everything that was in it. I wasnt expecting to receive it so was stoked when I did & saw what was inside. I love that there were items in there for both baby & myself like the nocktails & belly oil, its nice to be thought of in pregnancy rather than just baby.

It was very useful and had a lot of great products with samples to try. In a market that is flooded with products it was a well organised bag of products to try before you buy.
Great little bag to set you up with some of the fundamentals you need for new Bub plus some nice items for mum/family.
Its a great way to test products you havent used to see if you want to purchase them moving forward - weve definitely gone on to purchase brands weve discovered in BaoBags weve received when Ive given birth in hospital.
The bao bag is fantastic. There were so many different products in our bag that we had tried and others we hadnt heard of and we are keen to branch out. It was great that there were also items there for mum and dad not just baby.
It is a really thoughtful and beautiful bag. The bag itself has a lovely design and the gifts and samples inside are really well thought about for pregnant mothers and very welcome!
