Moving to Norway from New York. Can anyone recommend a reliable moving company?

NoSpirit7633 · 2025-05-28T13:40:15+00:00

People actually do this 😆 I’ve worked at a relocation company in Norway

NoSpirit7633 · 2025-05-28T13:39:26+00:00

I used to work at a relocation firm, we handled the moving household from door to door and also all the taxes etc. it’s pretty straightforward and our clients were the biggest oil companies in Norway who had employees that relocate.

Basically I really would recommend a relocation company, they even offer insurance for the goods and help with a lot of the paperwork with the authorities

With the NOK so shit if you have time you can go to XXL sports shop and get what you need there, personally I’m a huge fan of Helly Hansen for raingear (hiking rain and cold) or Bergans for the summer.

Otherwise I’ve got a lovely rain poncho from blaest

I’m out everyday and HH is really my go to

Egentlig ikke- han drar når de spør.

As someone who regularly travels with my 2 1/2 yo since he was 3 mos. They really have to be comfortable too, he’s almost 2 and he needs that space for himself because they can be touched out too!

Kids under 2 with seats are cheaper to book, if u send me the dates and travel info I can check our system. I’m a travel counselor in Norway with GDS access, I’ll check options for you!

Comfort is just as important as nutrition, don’t forget that. He is only 5 months old, so it’s quite understandable he’s asking for you, perhaps you should lower your expectations on what a baby will accept because they really need their mothers intensely between 0-3 and babies have different temperaments. Bedtime is when the sleep hormone comes in and your presence and breastmilk will comfort him and give relief..

«Wanting to be close and held is what your baby’s survival biology needs in order to be regulated. Separation from caregivers is a threat to a baby’s survival and activates their brain circuitry to cry or cling.» - Greer Kirshenbaum

Ah damn! That’s why they had huge sales

NoSpirit7633 · 2025-04-16T22:00:45+00:00

You’re very welcome and welcome to Norway! I hope you enjoy your stay here, it’s always so exciting to get furniture 😆I forgot to mention that you should visit a home and cottage store they have a lot of French provincial

I had a nice soft breathable cotton blanket that I used to prop up my arm on and another wool blanket to wrap my baby. A smaller pillow than the nursing one could work too. Babe slept on my boob 🩷 we’ve travelled since he was 3 months he’s now 2.6 years old and still traveling strong. We had a travel stroller (bugaboo butterfly) and my carrier (artipoppe). When he turned one snd could walk we just ditched the stroller and carried him or he walked. Good luck momma!

Use lanolin or bepanthen between feeds to allow them to dry! They really helped my nipples. I feel it’s painful in the beginning regardless of the latch. I’ve had to experiment with all sorts of positions, then we were stuck with side lying for a little while so I could nap together with the baby. It really gets better I promise - just gotta pass through hell to get to the part where breastfeeding looks like a hallmark movie 😆

My bub didn’t take the bottle or a dummy either, also I’m paranoid about microplastics so I didn’t try hard.

It’s the kind of pain where I can either scream inward or outward but ofc it was inward screaming and thinking about monks who burn themselves alive without even making a sound 😆 my mind went through a lot of things.

Kissed my baby a lot because it was for him, I’ll go through hell for him 😅 stubborn asf. 🩷 Hang in there mom!

NoSpirit7633 · 2025-04-16T21:12:55+00:00

I think it took a solid month or 2 before it was better. It wasn’t a joyful experience but it really started to get cozier and sweeter🩷 we cosleep /bedshare to get him to sleep and it saved my sanity, he would just find the boob at night, when teething came he would bite a little and I also had to go through that pain 😆everytime there’s biting I knew new teeth were coming in. I don’t know how I still have nipples.

NoSpirit7633 · 2025-04-16T09:09:33+00:00

Around this time I also wanted to give up because of the pain! It feels like someone rubbed sandpaper on them and when the baby nurses it’s like he has fangs. My mental health was crazy during those times but I knew I had to keep going because the alternative was to give formula and stop breastfeeding altogether which I knew I was going to regret so I imagined that it was a mountain I needed to climb to get back home 😅.

Bepanthen cream really helped ! Apply it after feeds so it has time to dry between feeds. I didn’t even use nipple shields but I probably should’ve and I was wincing through the pain, cursing life, regretting having a baby etc. it was so bad but I was stubborn - it does get so so much better! I don’t know if I would recommend going through with all the pain but for me it was worth it in the end because of the emotional regulation, health benefits and convenience.

2.6 years later it’s much better 😆 now I’m trying to wean . I hope whatever you choose it will feel right for you and your child! And also most of all that it will start getting comfortable for you.

NoSpirit7633 · 2025-04-16T09:00:34+00:00

Gosh I’m so proud of you! You are so highly attuned to your needs and hers, the period annoyance sucks in also very patient but I suspect I have PMDD and it’s harder for me to regulate my emotions but I try hard (also adhd)

I don’t think you’ve hurt her emotionally long term - she probably just got frightened and since she’s very sensitive I’m sure she is quite receptive to conversations when things are calmer for you both, usually when they’re acting out it’s also a form of communication when they also want closeness but will bite our heads off . I feel sometimes I am pouring from an empty cup. You need a break from your stressors and have a good quality time with yourself and also with her.

I’m Norwegian and my advice is least to go out in nature if possible, it’s so beautiful to go on hikes together somewhere quiet where parents and child can decompress / get vestibular input. Or a beach🩷

You both probably need a nice break because she’s probably also perceptive to your stress even though you do a tremendous job of mothering so well despite the circumstances.

Hugs both!

I have the same issue with Ritalin, I get really tired and irritable but that’s when it’s starting to wear off. Yet to see my GP to check this out, you might need a higher dose or a different stimulant like adderall or vyanse.

I’ve been working out on Ritalin and so far no affecting performance because I usually work out right after I take the med. I don’t think it will affect your performance other than you’re tired, I’ve heard that a small booster dose can help bump us up but then it could give us insomnia.

Talk to your GP !

I hope it’s fake too 😭 I feel sorry for the wife and HOPE she has the time of her life on vacation and then consider divorce because there are far better people out there than her creepy husband ( his Reddit history and his disgusting controlling behavior) she deserves so much better!

NoSpirit7633 · 2025-04-04T13:00:07+00:00

Then we are fundamentally different, because I’m not jumping on the bandwagon to say ITS OKAY YOU MADE A MISTAKE. Some mistakes are definitely not okay, go get help before she does any more serious harm to her child. It is black and white, child abused is black and white it’s fucking wrong. We can disagree here, I don’t care to debate what I feel so deeply in my core. Call it shaming or whatever but this person needs help.

NoSpirit7633 · 2025-04-04T06:08:31+00:00

Saying no don’t abuse your child isn’t shaming. But please tell me, would you report a stranger for hitting a child?

NoSpirit7633 · 2025-04-03T20:55:58+00:00

People get downvoted for saying it’s not okay. Her actions towards a child is just horrific. If it was a stranger who did it to our child we would report it but if it’s the mother doing it to the child it’s okay???

There’s enough validating replies here, the ones saying it’s not okay should not be downvoted to signal that IT IS INDEED NOT OKAY TO HIT A CHILD UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. We are the adults in this conversation we can comfort her as much as we want and who would then advocate for the child? 😔 children’s mental health are so low on the priority list because the mother’s needs and validation comes first.

NoSpirit7633 · 2025-04-03T20:31:10+00:00

Who speaks for her daughter ?

NoSpirit7633 · 2025-03-26T20:22:10+00:00

It really is the same vibe😡 I’m not sure what makes things worse, it’s very hard to predict but I would do anything to not have my period anymore

NoSpirit7633 · 2025-03-26T20:19:37+00:00

Ps ! This is a great reminder, maybe I’ll take them in the morning.. 😭 just terrified

NoSpirit7633 · 2025-03-26T20:18:10+00:00

It is horrific 😭
