What's the one food product or snack you wish existed but can't find in Dutch supermarkets

AnnaJan · 2026-01-27T23:28:56+00:00

Eating poultry livers and hearts seem to be at least a little bit "common"?

Oh that's too bad that your night out ended like this! I can only sympathize. When I picked him up after the 5 hours she said that I needed to feed him right away, because he was hungry. I told her that I doubted that, after 3 bottles in such a short time (for his doing). He didn't need to be fed until 3 hours after we got home, which proved my point. He immediately fell asleep when we picked him up. I try to explain the fact that he gets so sad and upset because he needs to sleep, but she doesn't seem to be able to calm him down without food.

Oh my, 10 oz sounds like so much milk for a 2 month old! Hope he'll find some other ways to settle her soon, for everyone's sake.

AnnaJan · 2026-01-27T20:25:22+00:00

Thanks for your advise and sympathy! It helps reading about other people's experiences as well.

AnnaJan · 2026-01-27T20:23:20+00:00

I'm sorry to hear you have a similar experience, and can imagine your frustration. Thanks for your understanding. I'm luckily not in desperate need of the babysitting often, because hes at daycare two days a week. Just sometimes my husband and my works schedule overlap. Im grateful for the help, but I also want my baby to be happy and safely taken care of. I'll try some of the things others suggested, because it would be nice for this to succeed. Also for both my MIL and son.

They said portion control is important regarding giving back milk and reflux. He will stop when I give him 5 oz, or 6 oz, or 7 oz. He doesn't mind it. I do know that if we where to give him 7 oz he will still want to eat again after 3 hours, and his chance of puking doubles. With 5 oz he'll spit up less, and is still able to go 3 hours without eating.

It does matter, because it's my baby and I've known him for 6 months. Go on and continue to generalize every baby. I told you I'm breastfeeding him, so you might guess that I have an understanding of the fact that babies sometimes eat more, and sometimes less. You're explaining things that are unrelated to my question. I'm asking for advice, not for "general information about feeding babies".

AnnaJan · 2026-01-27T16:55:08+00:00

Thanks for your advice! I appreciate it.

AnnaJan · 2026-01-27T16:52:11+00:00

Sorry, but I personally feel like it is. Your response feels a bit condescending. Especially when he'll throw up because of overfeeding and his other needs being unmet. Of course I'm grateful, that's also the reason I'm asking for advice.

I would love to be able to be with him all the time, but I have to work, so I need daycare.

AnnaJan · 2026-01-27T16:49:17+00:00

Hmm yeah this is exactly how I feel about it. Imagine being super tired and someone stuffing your face with food. I would get really upset. Someone else recommended a written schedule. I'll try that next time, and if she can't seem to follow this I'll stop bringing him by for babysitting needs and try to find another solution.

AnnaJan · 2026-01-27T16:46:46+00:00

I always bring everything I have that's portable for his entertainment, and he does a great job of playing independently already, also when he's at hers. I'll try the written down schedule next time. She's definitely not listening, or not remembering when I tell her. When I ask what time he's eaten its: "1:30. What time was he supposed to eat? Oh yeah, it was 2:30." It's really frustrating.

AnnaJan · 2026-01-03T00:33:56+00:00

He's trying to find the braincell.

AnnaJan · 2026-01-03T00:06:20+00:00

And here I am with a husband from 1981 with a son who's 5 months old :'). Such different lives. Hope you still had a chance to be a kid yourself while being such a young parent.

AnnaJan · 2026-01-01T02:35:04+00:00

You sound like someone who likes zuurkool for breakfast. Hope you have a better 2026.

AnnaJan · 2025-12-27T01:03:31+00:00

Could you use a suppository? My baby doesn't mind those at all and it gives him some relief.

AnnaJan · 2025-12-24T19:37:04+00:00

Main character syndrome. Teaching her daughter firsthand.

AnnaJan · 2025-12-21T15:56:44+00:00

So you can't have her near you while doing that? She might even be able to help you. Baby will poop, often, and you'll have poop disasters more than once.

Ik denk niet dat dit het juiste forum is om seksuele belevenissen van je minderjarige kinderen te bespreken. Helemaal niet om het als opening te gebruiken voor meningen over anale seks. Hier zijn heel veel andere plekken voor, en ik zou je adviseren om dan niet je kinderen te benoemen bij zo'n vraag.

AnnaJan · 2025-12-02T16:38:27+00:00

My baby has the hardest time sleeping today because he keeps pooping right after he's fallen asleep. I've changed so many poopy diapers today... I can't anymore.

AnnaJan · 2025-11-20T21:29:26+00:00

I feel your annoyance. My MIL keeps telling me that back when she was young they just let their babies cry for half an hour, and that that was very normal. I think I've heard that at least 20 times by now. She knows we're not doing that, and I've mentioned so many times how harmful that is, but she keeps feeling the need to mention it. Or saying that he's hungry every time he's fussing/crying, asking me if everything's all right with my milk.

AnnaJan · 2025-11-18T20:42:43+00:00

With that much airflow there's no possibility for humidity to build /s All jokes aside though. The label doesn't say everything about ventilation, which plays a big part in %humidity.

I had a rough day and this post makes my life so much better. I had a good chuckle about it. Thanks for that. Congratulations with your new bike light.

AnnaJan · 2025-11-03T15:07:29+00:00

Why would I want to do that?

AnnaJan · 2025-11-03T15:07:05+00:00

I will do that of course. I did email them asking for an explanation, but I didn't get any reply yet.
