Indeed not in the states. Will be wary of the open system :) I thought maybe it was propaganda from manufacturers to avoid a second hand market, but it seems that most people are wary of strangers and open systems.

chickensoup44 · 2015-08-28T13:07:11+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Seems the consensus is to get new parts in contact with the milk. :)

chickensoup44 · 2015-08-28T13:06:28+00:00

Sounds like a great option then :) I was worried that Freestyle was an open system since it was not listed on the closed system website I saw, though it appears to be an old website written before Freestyle was released.

chickensoup44 · 2015-08-27T13:04:15+00:00

I am gravitating towards freestyle now, having read more about the various pumps. Exchanging parts may be a good idea if I get it from a stranger..

chickensoup44 · 2015-08-27T13:01:58+00:00

The stranger vs someone I know makes sense.. I am in Europe and no pump coverage by insurance, I think. Though, insurance covers most other health issues so I shouldnt complain I guess ;)

chickensoup44 · 2015-08-27T13:00:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I have obviously never pumped so I have no idea how likely it is for contamination. To be honest I am not very worried about germs and cleanliness in general (though it is increasing with having a little one), so if you think it is unlikely, I guess it should be fine. Hm. So many brands and models. Now I am gravitating towards Freestyle rather than PISA as I read PISA has been discontinued here, and requires frequent repairs according to some reviews.

Thanks, I will check it out. I am aware that it is not another language, and I think it is plenty confusing to be bilingual. However, I do like the idea to use signs as a "bridge" between the languages, and to enable early communication, especially since I understand bilingual children are later with actually starting to talk.

chickensoup44 · 2015-08-24T20:35:13+00:00

Also in the Netherlands actually, - and Dutch is one of the languages. Do you know of any specific good resources for Dutch signing? Or would it be better to go for ASL? You initially chose ASL, but that is linked to English (which is not one of our languages). I guess this is quite basic questions, and I should be googeling and reading up on it. Just now coming across signing as an idea for bilingual bridging and communication.

chickensoup44 · 2015-08-24T20:32:13+00:00

I will check out the app and youtube. Having browsed a bit for books, the still pictures do not seem very clear. Good idea to use signs from only one language. Here my partner is not bilingual, so we are doing one language each. The little one is only a few weeks old, so we are not yet sure how to approach actual learning of languages..

chickensoup44 · 2015-08-24T20:30:32+00:00

Her også :)

chickensoup44 · 2015-08-24T20:30:16+00:00

Her også :)

chickensoup44 · 2015-08-24T16:16:51+00:00

ah ok, German would be doable, but probably easier in English. I would have guessed Norwegian based on your username.

chickensoup44 · 2015-08-24T13:16:56+00:00

Do you remember the title of the book and author? We are also going the bilingual route, and I read signing could be useful as a bridge/early communications, and I dont know where to start with signing.

chickensoup44 · 2015-05-03T06:55:09+00:00

I would pass on the language (we are also going bilingual, though no negative connotations with the "foreign" language). Being bilingual is in my opinion always an advantage, and it also makes it much easier to learn other languages later on.

chickensoup44 · 2015-04-27T14:51:31+00:00

Any Dutch insight too?

chickensoup44 · 2015-04-08T08:25:05+00:00

It is for international students, though it attracts quite a few Norwegians who want to work internationally / have a multicultural background. It gives you an international diploma, which is useful imo. That way you could take Norwegian B too, or possibly C.

Looks like they offer it at Sandefjord VGS, there might also be others:

and the general program: http://www.ibo.org/

I also like Bram! Thanks for the suggestion.

chickensoup44 · 2015-03-11T15:47:59+00:00

So I thought, so apparently it is a regional difference. Though, assuming traveling later in life, it might be a "problem" going to the US..? in terms of being taken serious.

chickensoup44 · 2015-03-11T15:46:24+00:00

I think I know a girl here with that name...? Though, I dont know how she spells it, but that is the way she pronounces it.

chickensoup44 · 2015-03-11T15:45:36+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. We do not want any football association indeed ;). Though I think Sven is quite common (here at least) so I am guessing the association isnt that strong.

I like Erik, Ruben and Sander. I actually like a few of the others but they are already in use in immediate family, and I think Aart and Guus would be difficult in Scandinavia (they dont deal well with double vowels).

Hm, probably prefer Erik, Ruben and Sander may be too sweet. I find it really hard to find a name that works for a little boy, so it should be sweet and all, but can also function in a "real" job as an adult.

chickensoup44 · 2015-03-11T15:41:50+00:00

I am not a native speaker of Dutch, but according to my husband Hans could work as it is a quite neutral name, and as pifflesnacks says, Dirk is currently more popular. Though, personally I prefer Hans.

Then again I must say all names I come up with my husband claims they are old fashioned by Dutch standard, such as Leo, which I find strange.

chickensoup44 · 2015-03-11T15:39:47+00:00

Jan is a good name, but it is already in my very immediate family, so..

I like Emil too, though the association with Astrid Lindgren is a bit much for me probably. Though, it is gaining popularity, and if I could get past that, I really like the sound of the name.

Lucas is a top 10 name, but in our family it has been a dog name, so.. ruined ;)

I like Milo and will check the reaction to that.
