The variety of products is amazing, the bag is good quality and the informational pamphlets are also great. I do intend to make some purchases (especially the dinner ladies) though we've been receiving help, so we'll be using that later.As a first time mum, I can't stress how handy the passport and baby milestone cards are, and I'll be looking at the cherubbaby booklet/site when little one is a bit older

Was such a lively surprise to receive the BaoBag. As first time parents to be, it is a really great way of getting exposure to brands that we are not so familiar with. At a time where everything feels overwhelming its really nice that we can try out these products before purchasing. I thought the contents of the bag was very generous and has definitely led me to consider brands that I hadnt heard of or knew little about. I look forward to going for appointments in the hope that Ill get another BaoBag with different items to try!

I was really surprised to receive the BaoBag at my first scan, I don't remember receiving one 6 years ago with my first child and it think its a really great touch for new mums to walk out of her scan sith some goodies to get her even more excited about what's to come at the end of her pregnancy

I was so surprised receiving the baobag, thought it was an amazing gesture and a great start point for a first time expecting mum.
The bag is great and gave me the opportunity to discover and try new products.

I loved it, it was a lovely gift to receive and gave us an opportunity to try the items and then decide whether we would like to use them or not.

It was the loveliest thing ever! Our OB gave it to my husband and I during our first ever appointment where we got to see our baby for the first time. The Dr gave it to my husband directly as a goody bag for new parents and it was so exciting for us! We came home, took everything, spread it across the bench and went through it all together. So fun!!

It was a great little gift to receive and shown different brands to trial and use when Bub arrives to know what is out their
Receiving this bag was absolutely perfect and couldnt have come at a better time as I was struggling to find useful information that wasnt overwhelming being a first time mum. The testers and samples are such a good idea and very important to me because I have never had a baby. Most of all, it was beautiful to see the thought behind the BaoBag for parents because its such a special chapter for many. I rate it 100/10 and commend the brains behind it. Great work everyone xx

I loved the bag and got one in 2021 when my older daughter was born. Theyre a great way to sample new products and such generous samples. It is a fun shoe bag for a mumAnd brings some enjoyment to our day.

The BaoBag was a welcome and pleasant surprise to receive. I love that the wipes are sample packs perfect for a handbag or nappy bag

It would be great to get a few more things for mum to use pre and post birth. It would also be great to hear about classes like pregnancy yoga and Pilates as I dont know where to start. Seriously the best thing in the bag is the Dinner Ladies voucher, that was a relief and weight off my shoulders. It sounds selfish but there is heaps for baby in the bag and the baby will be spoilt at the baby shower and when the baby arrives but Im constantly trying to keep up with what I need to do to recover and repair my postpartum body. That I have no idea where to look or what to do.It would also be great to receive some handy magnets from Rednose that I can put on my fridge and my in-laws fridge on safe sleeping as Ive looked into all of it but want my husband and grandparents to be across all the things too as Im concerned about SIDS the most. Ive also seen that some brands (ergopouch) have TOGS recommendations based on the weather and my sister had printed and stuck up the sign in her nursery. I wish there were more magnets with useful information for parents that we can refer to rather than flyers as these are wasteful and just go in the bin so not good for the environment.
Its really helpful to receive samples and information. It gives the option to try a few things in the early days before investing heavily in something you may not like.

Overall, a fantastic initiative. I love trying out different brands than I would usually use. For first time mums, a great little sample pack of things you may need. Brochures/books etc. not as helpful and unlikely to prompt a purchase.

Nurofen was the most useful item received and I liked the rite aid gel pads. Interesting natural parent magazine included. I received mine when baby was 12 weeks, would have been more useful during pregnancy.

It is such a great idea, especially for new parents who do not have a clue what products are out there! Being able to try a product really helps to determine whether to proceed with them in the future. Without being able to try these products I would not have used them.

Its great to receive this bag. I reckon having a bog with samples is very useful to a new parent. I would however let parents know ahead of time that they receive special offers and many products get pre-purchased
I would have loved to have more of the organic/natural brands in my bag but I understand they change regularly. Unfortunately I ended up with a lot of items I wouldnt feel comfortable using for my baby.
