As a first time mum-to-be theres so much information to take on. Having a small sample of products and information in the Baobag to get me started was helpful. Many of these products I havent heard of and it has got be thinking about the many aspects of looking after a baby. Perhaps some more pamphlets with simples for points about caring for a baby would be useful e.g. how much milk should baby be having, how much weight should they be gaining, how long can you store breast milk. And maybe some direction to some good resources that can offer more in depth info about things like breast feeding, sleeping etc. these may seem basic and simple but are things that first time parents have never had to think about until now and there is a lot to learn before baby arrives. Overall, loved going through the samples and materials provided, it has definitely answered some of the questions I had already

It was a lovely surprise at the end of our appointment. Gave us a better idea on what products are available out there.

It was such a nice little surprise after our appointment. The range of products out there can be a tad overwhelming so it is great to be able to see the quality first hand and to learn about other trusted brands

This is a great initiative for new parents and was a huge surprise at the hospital. Aside from the products, the vouchers and coupons are also a huge help and gave us ideas of things to do between now and the due date
I love the idea of the Baobag! Such a great gift on finding out you're pregnant. It has some great samples - perfect for hospital bags and contains some flyers on great ideas throughout the pregnancy journey! It would be nice to include something relating to husbands/partners and/or siblings - just to increase the coverage of the items.

It was very nice to receive this bag, especially being pregnant for the 4th time, you don't usually get given these things anymore. So it was a lovely treat. The bag itself looks beautiful and is a good size so I will be reusing it. The selection of products in the BaoBag is awesome- a good variety. It was great to try new items that I had never heard of, or items I had been curious to try.

Such a great idea! Some of the products were extremely useful and I would not know about them otherwise. Even the ones I didn't receive I will be having a look at the brand

Think this is a great initiative for new mums and really appreciate all of the brands providing samples. As a new mum things can be overwhelming and the choices for things like wipes and nappies, barrier creams and baby body wash/shampoo are endless. Being given these samples saves new mums from going out and buying full size packs of things before they know if they (and their baby) likes them - so these samples do new mums a huge service in providing them with the opportunity to try before they buy and do some of their own first hand research into products they otherwise may not have heard of or thought of using.
As a new mum I was extremely happy to receive this gift bag with so many products for me to try and learn about. I don't know if you realise how lovely it was to find this in my hospital room after a 39 hour labour that ended with bub needing help in the special care nursery, after having an emergency caesarean. I really enjoyed going through everything once I got home. Thank you!

I love the calico drawstring bag, thank you for a sustainable bag that will be reused for storage etc. Its so nice to have some little baby things from my first obstetrician appointment and consider what products we might like to purchase. Thank you for the love letter to baby journal, its nice to have something I can use straight away and connect with my little one from early on

What a wonderful way to find out more about products and support industries for a mother to be who has no previous experience with baby products. Very grateful.

I was so pleasantly surprised to receive the gift bag. I went for an anatomy scan and received it at the appointment. I was either familiar and a fan of the products, or was excited to try something new. Overall very big fan of the bag.

I just love these bags!! Trial and error can get very expensive when having a baby already makes income a little tight. Not all products suit all babies or families this allows you to try before you invest and hopefully saves you some money but allows you to try things you may not have go for yourself or thought you would not use. I know for me I was having trouble finding Tooshie nappie samples without buying a pack and like I said that can get expensive! I find the information in them suited to mums with 5 babies or first time mums! So much is changing and even with my last turning 6 before baby is born so much has changed and its nice to feel back in the loop! Also all that offered in the local community with the addition of the smaller Canberra Baby directory included :) I found services that didnt come up on google that I had been looking for!

I was very positive surprised to receive this bag. It's my first pregnancy, and to have the chance of trying different products in a small quantity is a great offer to feel comfortable choosing the right product for us. I hope the BaoBags can be past on to a lot of young mothers to be. Making aware of options on the most beautiful period of live.

I appreciated all the different samples that I was able to try from the bao bag. Especially the different nappies and wipes. It was great to work out what worked for my baby.
I loved receiving a BaoBag at my ultrasound appointment, I thought it was very thoughtful and contains practical items and information that I can use when my baby comes. It was also nice to hear about a couple of brands Id never come across before which I now think Ill be using as a mum.
