expatriate information for Indonesia

A network for English speaking mothers (and fathers) with infants, this support group has proved invaluable when trying to meet other mothers with young children. It provides an informal venue in South Jakarta where you can relax and discuss any issues concerning your baby.

Over the years many lasting friendships and successful baby groups have started up through meeting others at this weekly event. There are children around the world, now 10 years old, who are still in contact with friends they first played with at the Mother & Baby Support Group when they were only small babies.

The group meets each Wednesday from 9.30am to 11.30am and once or twice a month a midwife / nurse joins the group for a “Question & Answer Session”. You are able to weigh and measure your baby each visit.

So, if you feel like meeting other mothers with babies, come join us at our Mother & Baby Support Group. Tea, coffee and cake will be available. A small donation would be welcome and will be put towards funding the medical, nutritional and educational programmes provided by Yayasan Balita Sehat for underprivileged Indonesian mothers and their children.
