To help meet this need Mater Foundation and Mater Mothers have created a series of educational and fun videos for dads to turn to for information, insight, and guidance as they take their first steps into the wonderful world of parenthood.

06.01.2022 We love that @mummyhood.au is loving our Mater Baby Products We received a box of baby products from @matermothers last week. Upon opening the box, my boys found two cuddly Miracle Max puppies - the mascot for Mater Little Miracles. I saw their faces light up and as a mum, my heart was filled with joy! One week in using @matermothers nappies and nappy balm. I can definitely say, the quality is even better than leading brands. The nappy is very thin but surprisingly ver...y absorbent! Leaving my bub's skin dry even after a long night. The waist band is smooth and resealable tabs are strong. It stays where it should therefore no wedgie for my crawling bubby! The nappy balm worked well with the nappy too as bub's irritated skin due to teething significantly improved just after a day. The best part of supporting this brand is that proceeds support Mater Little Miracles to help fund life-saving care and research for babies Australia-wide. My baby Z is my tiny miracle baby born 6 weeks early.

02.01.2022 Despite being born at term, baby Perry came in to the world needing a little bit of extra help, meaning he had to spend some time in Mater Mothers’ Neonatal Critical Care Unit becoming stronger each day.
