"Practical, every-day products for mums and bubs -
this website provides ease of service, flexibility and fantastic products!"

Melissa Maimann, Private Midwife, Essential Birth Consulting

In my work as a private midwife, I am often asked, “What do we need to buy for our new baby?” So I set about finding a website that catered to first-time parents, parents with older children, parents of babies and so on. I found that Parent Packs provide the best range of products for mothers and babies both for pregnancy and after the new family member arrives. Packs can be tailored to each family’s needs, or families, friends and co-workers can select a carefully prepared pack. Parent Packs take the uncertainty out of what to buy. They are convenient, user-friendly and reliable. I now recommend Parent Packs to all of my clients.

As well as products for mums and babies, there are a myriad of other things to think of as a family prepares for the birth of their baby. Things like arranging for extra support from family and friends after the baby arrives, options around parental leave and finances, and of course health in pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Speaking of health … did you know that you can have your own private midwife with you, wherever you give birth to your baby? Private midwives work alongside private obstetricians, we attend homebirths, we attend hospitals births … in fact, you’ll find us in private hospitals, public hospitals and of course in women’s homes.

I am the Director of Essential Birth Consulting, a private midwifery service for families residing in Sydney, the Central Coast, Illawarra, Blue Mountains and Southern Highlands regions. My service results in:

1. Greater than 80% drop in cesarean sections
2. Greater than 90% drop in the woman's need for an epidural
3. Almost seven times more likely to have a successful VBAC
4. 75% reduction in induction

Although families may use my service for birth support in a hospital, many families choose to have all their care requirements met by me, either for hospital birth or homebirth. Families seek out my service to:

1. Feel in control of their experience.
2. Increase their likelihood of experiencing a safe, satisfying birth experience of their own choosing.
3. Develop a safe and trusting relationship with their own midwife, who will provide continuous care right throughout the whole journey, from the early pregnancy, labour, birth and the first few weeks of early motherhood.
4. Feel empowered, confident and supported instead of anxious and scared, perhaps having had a disappointing experience last time.
5. Be supported in a VBAC or twin birth by a qualified advocate who assists the woman to achieve her preferred birth choices and minimise medical intervention.
6. Finally .... to have a great birth!
