It’s open to moms with pre-walker babies and pregnant women. Reka can offer breastfeeding advice and answer questions regarding baby’s feeding, sleeping and other concerns. If you’re pregnant and have questions about having a baby in Hungary, she’d be glad to answer. The group is a great way to meet other moms and socialize. The group is completely informal, just show up whenever you can, no need to check in. It is also quite small, only 3-5 moms at most, so it is a quiet, relaxing environment.
