As with prenatal classes, many hospitals offer postnatal classes such as postnatal keep-fit (Rückbildungsgymnastik), yoga with young children or baby massage.
Eltern-Kind Zentren
The City of Vienna municipal parent and child centers offer Babytreff for small babies, Krabbeltreff for older babies, and Eltern-Kind-Treff for parents and toddlers. All these sessions are free-of-charge, but German is the main language spoken. The centers are open to mothers of all nationalities and are great places to take toddlers on a rainy day. They are also good places to have your baby weighed and measured; some also offer vaccinations and medical assistance. The location of the different centers is available on the City of Vienna website.
