It does depend on where you shop and brands you purchase, but the contents of the basket usually costs less than the nappy bag. 

We usually have a pretty even split, so we'll leave that up to you! And if you're unsure, feel free to make up a neutral pack. 

We like to keep our Nappy Bags and New Mum Baskets consistent so that each mama is receiving the same - and because we use these resources as teaching tools about the perinatal period, each item is purposeful! If you have other new items to donate that are not on the list, please email us at [email protected]

Yes, if you can that would be amazing! We work with over 120 women per year, so the more the better! 

As Mama would have just had bub when she receives her New Mum Basket, a loose nightie is a lovely idea. Generally a size M or 12-16 is perfect, but we will always have a need for other sizes too!

We love that you are keen to support a Babes mama from afar! You can still take part in Equip A Mum by posting your items to us (nappy bags are best suited to this option). Or, you can give towards preparing a Nappy Bag and/or New Mum Basket by using the reference "EQUIP" when you make a donation here.
