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.
The Bao Bag is a nice touch for new parents who are otherwise unsure of what products to trial. Its a nice curation of products and good information for parents with a good variety of samples to try. Its a nice touch to be sent home with after a scan or hospital. We loved ours bao bag!!
These bags are such a fantastic idea for new parents. From the small samples that fit perfectly into nappy bags or the car to vouchers for discounts, each product goes to use. I have changed brands based on products used in the BaoBag, maybe products I wouldn't have previously tried.

The BaoBags are such a great item to receive as any time mum (foest, second, third etc). There are always new/ other brands to be aware of and having access to see what is available is so handy. Even after having 2 children I have gotten familiar with the same products and forgotten to look at and use other brands. Great reminder to always be aware of what's out there
I love the BaoBag - it was an absolute treat to be gifted it. I really enjoy trying new brands and products so it was fantastic to explore some products/brands that are new to me. I think the products in the bag are fabulous and represent a wide variety of brands that are tested and true to being good for babies.
It is super nice to see that there is so much care for new parents, to take the stress away with all these amazing gifts. Thank you

I went to my very first appointment with my midwives today and receiving the beautiful little bag was a wonderful addition. It makes new mums feel appreciated and thought about. I'm very thankful to have received these wonderful samples and look forward to giving them a try. Thank you.
It was such a pleasant surprise being gifted on my third pregnancy because everyone expects you to be an expert in everything now. But honestly, every baby is so different and there's is always something new to learn!
Really appreciative of the bag! Lots of useful samples to help me decide whats going to work best for my bub. Love the actual bag itself as well!
Just very grateful for the bag, and for such high quality items inside. As a first time mum it is so valuable to have highly rated and reviewed products that have been recommended by Mums just like me. Navigating first time motherhood can be overwhelming and receiving this feels like Im not in it alone so thank you so much :)
I think its so lovely to receive a BaoBag after you have a baby. Theres so much going on and the mother has been through a lot, and its lovely to feel like there are people out there that really care. Its awesome to try different brands of things without spending a heap of money on all the products and brands. Its great in figuring out what works best for you and your baby. I appreciate the bag so much. Thank you so much for the gift!

This bag is by far the BEST gift bag Ive received all pregnancy. There wasnt a single item in there that I wont try, even though there were a number of items I have never heard of before. When we are so cautious of what we surround our babys with, its nice to be able to try good quality products before committing to spending (wasting!) lots of money and time on cheaper alternatives only to end up using the best products in the end. This bag only included the best options; making decision making so much easier. Thank you!
Absolutely LOVE the BaoBag, was very exciting trying all the goodies out on my 2 year old before baby comes along so I have a good understanding what works for us so I can stick up accordingly. Love all 3 brands of nappies, I will see what works on baby best, I found them all excellent! Was great to hear of some companies that I not heard of before. A few items that werent in my pack, I marked as a 3. I feel the amount of samples and information in the BaoBag was perfect, sometimes if there is too much, people are hesitant to try and if not enough, they can feel it is a waste, I believe BaoBag have nailed it perfectly!

I think these bags are an amazing idea. Perfect sized samples to be able to try the products and a great range of items as well. Well thought out products and information sheets as well. Definitely a massive help for a first time mum who isnt too sure on which brands to use and to show how broad the ranges are. Incredibly helpful and useful. A great gift to receive
Loved receiving our BaoBag, as first time parents this was a great tester to discover new brands and solidify the liking of brands that we were already familiar with. The perfect little gift to take home for our newborn baby
It feels like such a special treat to receive this bag. What a lovely idea. I have been feeling a little apprehensive about having Bub number 2 but along with having a scan and seeing Bub and then getting a bag of adorable baby items, Im feeling really excited about meeting the little guy and some of the challenges that lay ahead! Its such a great way to trial different brands and even though I was familiar with some of them, its great to have the opportunity to try them on a different Bub, as each one seems to react differently to things. The canvas bag is a nice touch too! And Ive used it to organise my nappies in my nappy bag. Thanks so much for putting these together!

I honestly couldnt believe the contents, it was such a lovely surprise. Im so grateful that youve included different brands of the same products so I didnt feel like it was a marketing ploy. There are items Ive seen and wanted to try without buying and wasting the full sized product (such as tooshies or water wipes) that Ill now purchase. The smaller sized items are also particularly handy to keep in the nappy bag. Thank you for the information about sleep pouches and tooth brushing, its so helpful to see the overviews like that. I keep them on display on the inside of the cupboard. The concept of the dinner ladies is something that had never crossed my mind and even though some people think that these bags may not be necessary for a second baby, something like this is more applicable to me now in the second pregnancy than in the first and some of the products might be better suited to this baby too. Thank you for not limiting them to first time mums.
Receiving a BaoBag was such a lovely surprise after our 20 week scan. We are new parents who are continually trying to find what the best products are to use on our baby, however this can be overwhelming (and expensive). Getting to try these sample sizes made it so much more enjoyable and approachable. The bag itself is beautiful, and I LOVED the a love letter to baby book that came inside - it was really empowering. We will definitely be buying products from the BaoBag.

I had to wait over an hour to get in to see the doctor with my 11week old. The receptionist came up and offered me this bag and said they just received them. Going through it, I was absolutelyfloored with the products and felt really blessed to have these products come into my orbit. As a first time mum, it's often hard to know what's out there until it's really urgent! Thank you for putting these together!
Thank you very much. This is a fantastic bundle of gifts and we will definitely be purchasing from many of the companies.
The calico Baobag is gorgeous ( and I loved the explanation of the meaning of the baobab tree) and I will definitely be reusing it, probably in my nappy bag to carry the endless supplies needed for a new bub!As a third time mum, I had received other goody bags during my other pregnancies and thought I had already tried out lots of baby products. The Baobag is by far the most impressive, both the actual design and thoughtfulness of the bag itself but also it was great to be introduced to new products many of which are more natural and may be my new go-to products for the new baby. Receiving the Baobag at my hospital appointment was also just a lovely feel-good moment in the not-always-easy journey of pregnancy. Thank you!
