More Than Just Baby Gear: Finding Real Support for International ParentsMore Than Just Baby Gear: Finding Real Support for International Parents

It takes a village to raise a child, but who is supporting the parents? In this episode, Eva sits down with Maria from @MamaMariacoach, the visionary behind the BBABBY Fair. While this specific event has concluded, the conversation highlights a vital shift in the parenting world: moving away from "stuff" and toward professional, human-centered support.

From pregnancy and nutrition to NICU stories and maternal mental health, the BBABBY Fair brought together over 60 professionals—including podcast favorites like Dr. Naomi Gibson and Amélie—to provide the wisdom they once wished they had. We take a warm, honest, and direct look at the story behind the fair and why meeting your community face-to-face is the ultimate antidote to the isolation of expat parenting. Tune in to hear how we are reshaping the concept of "community" in the Netherlands and why your support network should always come before your stroller.
