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.
I love that it is a little extra thing you get with samples of different brands. Especially when you are a first time parent, it gives you so many options
Receiving the bag was a warm feeling. When you have a newborn and when you receive this bag on your first visit to the GP with the baby, it makes you smile and gives you information so that you are better informed than you were yesterday for your baby.
It was really nice to receive a bag at the beginning of my first pregnancy as I have little knowledge about what baby brands Ill be needing to buy from in the future. I had already bought the Pure Mama baby oil so it was nice to feel validated in my purchase! Some of the items I wont be able to test until baby is born so perhaps a more tailored bag for first time expecting mothers would be more useful and targeted. Overall it was nice to be given the opportunity to sample new products!
It's a fantastic idea just wish I had access to the bag earlier to help me with preparing for bubs arrive, I had more time before he was here and are now using products either based on familiarity or convenience not necessarily due to quality. Now that I'm going back through the bag I am using the samples to see if we should make any changes with our purchases and products. I did shared care obstetrics in both Townsville and Canberra and didn't receive a bag from either but would have loved to!
What a generous surprise! It was a really lovely gift bag with lots of brands we'd never heard of and items we never thought about needing.

I loved receiving my BaoBag at my scan clinic. Such a nice touch to feeling valued and seen as an expecting first time mother. I really enjoyed seeing and testing all of the products I received and this really gave me some great inspiration and ideas for products I may want to use when baby arrives.
I loved receiving this bag of goodies and the bag itself is lovely. I will definitely use it. I like that it is washable and a nice size for adding to a nappy bag. Or simply using a grab and go nappy bag for quick trips. I loved receiving a variety of items to try as you dont get a lot of time to search out new products and tend to go for what is easy and familiar. These bags really are of value. Particularly to young mums such as myself.

Besides the products I received, I also was given a magazine inside my bag called natural parent. I found this helpful. I also appreciated the flyer for gidget foundation Australia, as I have been struggling to adjust to all my hormones.

Beyond grateful for receiving this bag. As a first time Mum in a world of the unknown its quite daunting. There are a lot of opinions and its nice to receive something like this, to be able to become familiar with brands and do my own research.
This is such a great idea to get new parents familiar with the products they will be needing very soon. We got our BaoBag from an ultrasound and it was a lovely gift to take home.

Its very thoughtful. Pregnancy is an emotional journey so I felt comforted by this kind gewtur of the baobag.
I think the concept it great particularly with new mums. It is such a foreign space when you havent had children before and is very overwhelming to know what to choose and try.
I thought this was the most beautiful touch. The gifts included were practical, thoughtful and useful.
The BaoBag is a great way to get exposure to brands outside of my usual choices and makes it more likely for me to purchase one of the brands. Would be great to also include some baby lotions as I prefer getting testers of this to ensure bubs skin likes it before I purchase big versions.
Usually when I get a sample bag like this, it is filled with a lot of promotional brochures rather than samples. I LOVED that this bag actually had samples and items of things that I either already use or will use! Particularly the wipes, nappies, vitamin c tablets and mocktails, how good!

I'm so grateful that I got some free samples as this is our first baby and we are still learning all about what products we need. I appreciate that there are eco friendly products in they're as that's what I'm interested in.
The bag itself has a great design as well as versatility, so will definitely be using it in the future. The material of the bag makes it seem durable and the drawstring helps it be easy to open and close.

A lovely idea. Much better trialing things this way than buying mass amounts of a product.
The BaoBag was such an awesome introduction to so many products that Id never tried or heard of before. Now Ive found some great products that are affordable and sensitive to my babys needs. Such an amazing thing to receive - thank you!!
Was a lovely surprise to receive and gives us an opportunity to try different products to see whats is right for us.
