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.

It was lovely to get some sample products. I would never have tried the Ferrous iron supplements as it's not available near me, but it has been by far the best. The Dinner Ladies voucher was a really nice touch. There was a lot of value I'm the bag.

The Baobag was great! It provided access to some new brands that I wasnt aware of, and also got me thinking about things I will need but hadnt researched yet - ie. Pregnancy oil, Nurofen for kids. It was also helpful to go through with my partner so he also knew some things we would need and he could read about the products, instead of me researching and discovering on my own.

Its a very nice gesture to receive. I would l love to see more natural and alternative brands as the main stream brands are known and common. Introducing more smaller brands would be great

I tried to give as much information as I could based on items which I received! I think its an excellent touch and filled with wonderful information for parents, especially first time mummy and daddy like myself! Only thing I would recommend is that the sudocream expired within a month of receiving the bag which was back at my first initial OB appointment at 15 weeks (due in 3 weeks) I have given the squeeze food to a family member with an infant to use as that will also be expired prior to my baby being old enough to try. Apart from that the bag itself presents beautifully (my husband even agrees) and to be able to try products first without having to purchase I think is a fabulous idea. Super handy especially in the times that we are in.Even the sample packaging is super cool on some of the items! Love how they are individually wrapped and not just open in the bag!
The bag has some very helpful items. Its a great way to try certain products before committing to it or buying a larger amount.

Love the bag! And think that its a great package for new mums! Would love to see some safe sleep advice and a guide for baby Rountine

I always love opening my bag to see what goodies are in there. I love discovering new items and up and coming brands.

I have received the bao bag twice now, one in each pregnancy. Firstly, i love that the bag is canvas and reusable. Its the perfect size for some nappies, drink and snacks when we go out. I love the samples included, they show me what is new/popular in the (ever-changing) parenting world. Lastly, i love the generosity to provide these bags to new and expecting mums. Thanks baobag!

I thought this bag was a very nice idea and lots of information in it and gifts not only for me as mum but for baby. Its helped me decide on what things I would buy for our baby. So thank you very much!
It was a surprise to receive the baobag when I went for a reassurance scan. But it really made my day! It was fun to look through and see the little bits and pieces and read through the booklets.

What a great idea! Have so far loved all the products, especially the pure mama oil which I will continue to repurchase. This pack is particularly useful for new parents.

The survey asks me about some products that werent included in my bag. Not sure why. Be good to get some consistency. Overall useful to try and be aware of these products. Loved the teeth cleaning ones as I wasnt familiar with those. And the dinner options to help nourish and feed ourselves through this phase.

I loved receiving the BaoBag. It was great to try products I had seen on the market and wanted to try. It was also so good to discover some new products I had never heard of which I plan on using again.

It was great to receive a bag full of useful items. I feel like the baby market is very crowded and its hard to know where to start. The BaoBag is a great place to start and Im definitely going to consider buying some of the products provided and suggested. Thanks!
I was really impressed by the quality and variety of samples/products provided. We are very eco conscious and try to purchase items that are both eco friendly and of a high quality for our daughters. I was very excited that many of the samples were either products we use and love or items that we have been meaning to try. Overall, it was so lovely receiving a gift that wasnt filled with useless samples of products we would never use, but rather high quality eco friendly products.

I think it's a beautiful idea especially for new mums who aren't aware of all the products and services available to them. There really are some great products and ideas. It feels personalised and hand picked and was very special to receive this after my 13 week scan, the lead up being stressful at times.

It was a great idea and great way to introduce new items on the market to new or experience moms. Loved getting it. It made my day

It was a really nice gesture to receive unexpectedly from the midwife on first meeting.Great to have some samples to get familiar with before purchasing bulk products you don't know about.Overall this is a great idea, perhaps adding some more leaflets of samples or a discount voucher book of baby products would be a nice touch and give more exposure to what can be purchased.

A very nice feeling to have a little unexpected gift when you give birth, albeit mostly corporate advertising, having samples still feels nice. Particularly large samples of very useful stuff like Kin fertility. The nipple creams are also great to have handy in hospital
Love receiving the samples and it definitely helps guide future purchases as well as introducing me to new products, I love this!
