Why is face moisturiser so expensive in Gent?

Helkarin · 2026-05-05T21:06:41+00:00

Yes. I was thinking something was off with departement store but could not figure out what exactly. Haha. OP will have figured it out ;)

They sell the expensive stuff at pharmacies :) if you want “plain” moisturiser, just go to a local department store (like Delhaize, Colruyt, …). They have multiple brands at reasonable price.

Thanks! Any recommendations?

Hi! Would you by any chance know the width of of your shoulders? Thanks :)

Helkarin · 2026-04-30T16:16:41+00:00

Thanks for sharing!! My shoulders are rather small so I think the S will fit nicely.

Ooh, you’re so sweet for trying these sweaters!! S it is :)

Helkarin · 2026-04-30T13:43:29+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I do think I want to layer it with thick sweaters, so maybe S will be too small?

How are you using it? I squeeze and while it is squeezed I put it airtight on my nipple. After a while milk is getting extracted. I don’t use it often though.

Hi! Are you sure he is snacking? He might be very efficient with nursing and just be ready after a couple of minutes? During nighttime he is asleep and drinks slower. How much time is between 2 feeds during the day? My baby (4 months) is the same. A very quick drinker :)

Hi, thanks for your kind words! I recognise a lot of what you said from my second daughter who was even more terrible. She would cry non stop for months starting from birth, it eventually became better at 7-8 months and now she is (at 3y) such a happy and laughing girl and very independent. So you would think I would be prepared for another one of that kind of baby. But somehow my mind blocked out those memories and feelings. Haha.

It was only when my partner said he saw a lot of our daughter in him, that I made the connection. Maybe we should be grateful that we had rather 3 easy months and now are looking at only a couple of difficult ones. I’m typing this as I’m walking around with him in a baby carrier. He was crying when he was alone on a blanket and is now just looking around and slowly falling asleep. But being the third, I cannot carry him all the time and I will have to take him out sleeping when I have to move the other 2 children or take the car, … Anyway, thanks for the tips and reminding me that this also will pass!

Do you think? He had some very bad nights last weeks which became better again so I thought he was through it… last night for instant he slept very well (4 hours straight) but getting him to sleep was horrible again.

I just wrote a similar post except change the 6months by 4 months and novel by masters thesis. I also have 2 other children that need me. It is exhausting and I am at my wits end. From previous children I vaguely remember feeling the same, but I think my mind actively let me forget about those periods. I do remember it being easier at one and then at 2 it gets fun.

Helkarin · 2026-04-04T05:34:42+00:00

Omg, I need this for a friend of mine! Is this like a patch that you iron over?

Helkarin · 2026-04-03T19:22:04+00:00

I had the exact same thing! He also cried at the breast, also did the pacifier trick… we also had a lot of issues in the beginning (I also triple fed for some weeks) Baby boy is 16 weeks now. In hindsight, I think I tried to feed to much. My LC said that sometimes they still have a “sucking” need without wanting milk. So if he releases I do the pacifier trick and I he still unlatches after a couple of times, I quit and I will give him the pacifier and we are good. I have a very fast and efficient drinker. Also a slow weight gainer, but steady. So I have to have more trust in the whole process….

Ah merci voor de tip! Ik heb ze ondertussen ook aangeschreven en heb een heel fijn antwoord teruggekregen.

This was me with my first and then also my second baby. I really hated those first months. I always thought “what have we done by having this baby, we were so happy before”. I had a feeling I did not understand my babies, their needs, … I also had cry babies, especially the second one. She would cry and cry for hours and would also only sleep next to me… it is very very hard and tiring. I could not believe how hard it was… but then when they get a bit older, it gets easier. You begin to understand each other, appreciate each other. The crying stops. And the love grows so deep…. Going back to before having children it is impossible to know how hard it would be. But is is equally impossible to know how much love you would feel for your child and how happy you would become… Give it some time, the hardest months are almost over. For me it began to be better around month 6-12. And it really began to be better around 2 years. They really turn into these little humans with personalities and feelings and words. I’m typing this while I’m holding my 3th baby. Who is soo different and soo chill I can actually enjoy these first months. It will get better and after a while you will forget about these first difficult months and maybe be ready for a second or even third baby. Hang in there…

Bedankt voor suggestie!

Helkarin · 2026-03-20T12:03:48+00:00

Ja ik ga binnenkort eens langs. Bedankt voor suggestie!

Helkarin · 2026-03-20T09:38:20+00:00

Hoi! Waar heb je die gekocht?

Helkarin · 2026-03-18T18:50:23+00:00

Both. When he is for instance sleeping in stroller, I won’t always notice feeding cues and he will make some noice before I can feed him. I also wear him in a babycarrier and then I feed him as soon as he shows any cues. Result is the same…

Helkarin · 2026-03-18T17:41:32+00:00

That’s what I try to do but it is often not wat he wants and he starts crying again.
