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.
Loved this sample bag! I think this is such a generous touch to a soon-to-be mother & father. And opens up the opportunity to try some of these brands we may not have seen or would have picked up first to try. Would be also great to include leaflets for first time parents on tips & tricks for things like breast feeding latching &/Or how to swaddle etc.
Its a great bag and has opened my eyes to some fantastic products and services! :)
It's a lovely bag with some very useful samples. Well presented and fun to dig through.
It was a pleasant gift to receive that has many the necessities for babies. Gave a chance to try different products that weve heard of but didnt use. Having small samples also meant its convenient and easier to carry. The less luggage the better for parents who carry a lot of stuff! Also a chance to win a bugaboo pram is a bonus!! ;)
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
Lovley surpise to be gifted this bag. All products will be useful and used. Great sample sizes and some items being full size is fantastic.
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.
Great bag!usually i find these bags dont have a lot of useful things but this bag was great!
Was a lovely little surprise of goodies received during our hospital stay, very unexpected. Thank you
Loved the bag, gave me some great items as well some brands I didnt know about that I am considering to try, it was a great bag and I will be able to reuse the bag for other things also. Thank you
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.
