The goody bags include product samples, coupons, safety tips, brochures on innovative new products, and helpful tools for new moms. There is a congratulatory letter, information on breastfeeding and baby wearing, a SIDS safety guide, and the “Mommy’s Little Helper” chart for breastfeeding moms to help track their nursing schedule and wet diapers. The samples include lollipops for pregnant moms, Mothering magazine, lanolin cream, and organic baby care products. The goody bags are all tied up in a gift bag with a pretty ribbon, a real treat. The bags are available at healthcare offices throughout the Central New Jersey/Eastern Pennsylvania area.
“As a mother of two boys, I am still always looking for new products and ways to make my life easier,” states Lois Whittaker, developer of the New Mom Goody Bag program and inventor of the Cushie Pushie Breast Support Pillow. “We developed these bags to give new moms a jumpstart in their journey into motherhood.”
The goody bags are also a way to promote mom-owned, baby-friendly businesses and products. The following companies are currently participating in the program:
