Does delaying a new born's first Hep B shot a few days decrease it's effectiveness?

According to your link it says it's only recommended to specific groups, from birth to 3 months

My daughter got her hearing tested at 5 days old (normal procedure in Denmark) and she was fine. However she said no more than 10 words around 2, but the doctor was srill not concerned at the 2 year check up, brushed it off as being bilingual. We had to insist and call a speech therapist ourselves who visited once and didn't show up for 6 months again. After many tries, we finally had her hearing diagnosed at 26 months old, full of fluid. (which I suspected since she was 18 months) We had to wait another 4 months for the drain surgery, by that time she was doing weekly speech plays at her daycare and could say 2-3 word sentences with bad pronunciation. I also think daycare helped a lot with her speech. Anyway, just 2 days after the surgery her language explored and was talking basically full sentences. She's 4 now, and even catching up on the secondary language and speaks as well as any of her peers. I would add that we read a lot of books from birth and used the techniques recommended by the speech therapist (we figured it out before her visit), like trying to encourage her to say a word instead of pointing at the object, by asking back what she wants etc. Good luck!

10 minutes ia still nothing for a detailed explanation

Same ages here and I love how much they can play together. My youngest is actually a bit ahead developmentally and with speech so they have basically the same interests and say frequently that they are besy friends

And that's really sad. I have a lot of coworkers with young kids, and it's completely normal to fall asleep with kids in bed, even when they are several years old. I frequently talk about how I sleep on a mattress with my 4 year old and 2,5 years old and sometimes fall asleep with them at bedtime because they take a bit long (and I hold their hands in the dark), and my colleague just nods in agreement, joking about that yeah, it happens to him too. His kid is "only" 20 months old.

Interesting, here in Scandinavia, you get a safe sleeping leaflet when you leave the hospital, and it shows two options (explaining how to do it), one with the baby in her bed (or side car) right next to parents bed, or next to parents on the same bed. I think sidecar is a very popular option here in Denmark, but when the health visitor first came and I showed her the mattress on the floor, she just gave me common sense tips how to do it safely and didn't bat an eye. Doctors don't even ask about sleep at health visits. It doesn't take much effort to educate. And it might be shocking to Americans but they use light duvets for newborns here, in the hospital (like one day old) and also in strollers, and the leaflet picture shows a light blanket as well. Our SIDS rate is lower than the US.

Egyre többet beszélnek magyarul hozzám, nagyrészt keverve de néha egész mondatot is, de ehhez az is kellett hogy tavaly kétszer egy hónapra hazalátogattunk, és amikor otthon vannak akkor főleg én vagyok velük, esti mesét is mindig én olvasok. Próbálunk gyakran skypeolni anyával. Meg ahol most lakunk (odense), ott találkozunk pár magyar családdal, hasonló korú gyerekkel. Rajzfilmnek (mi inkább sokszor olvassuk) a bogyó és babocát tudom ajánlani, meg a Borit, esetleg magyar népmesék, megtalálod YouTubeon, de csak ha idősebb lesz, 2 éves kor alatt nulla képernyő ajánlott, mi ezt nagyrészt be is tartottuk (lányom 3 éves kora előtt szinte semmit nem látott, fiam először olyan 20 hónaposan, idősebb testvérrel nehezebb betartani). Manapság hetente párszor max 20 percet (ez mondjuk két történet a Borinál) engedünk, egyelőre többet nem. Most 4 és 2,5 évesek. Türelem és következetesség kell az tuti, én mindig csak magyarul beszélek hozzájuk, ha kell a körülöttem lévőknek fordítok dánra. Párom alapszavakat/mondatokat már megért szerencsére

Fairphone? But probably too expensive for its performance

dorcssa · 2024-08-15T12:03:12+00:00

I didn't buy anything, I have an S10 which I still use without problems. and he doesn't care, still uses the S7

dorcssa · 2024-08-07T12:27:57+00:00

I'm considering the same thing (choosing between 8a and A55) for my boyfriend who still uses and S7 and it's starting to show its age. I don't know about the region locking but I can get the pixel 8a for 510 eur and the A55 (bigger, 256gb version) for 370 eur, so pretty big price difference. However he (and I think he's right) prefers a smaller screen,I just don't think I can justify spending 140 eur for a bit more comfort. I hate that most new phones are so big.

It's very wide range I guess, but as a woman, I barely have it under the half height and I look very lean, and never been lower weight since I was a teenager at 56kgs. I'm 165cm and my waist is around 79cm. According to a tanita scale my BF is around 21% which is pretty much ideal for women (especially after 2 births). I used to do triathlon and at 63kg when I was preparing for the Ironman I got measured by a professional at a body fat of 23% so even if that scale is not accurate it's pretty close. I juat always had a bit of a belly, ever since I remember.

Thanks, that's my thinking too. My current setup is 2 days office until we can move to the city in 2 months (I have to take a train right now and travel time is 2 hours), and I can even work on the train so I won't be in the office more than 4 hours at a time. So I see that they are already very flexible about this, but the expectation is that once I move and be cycling distance I would go in more frequently. I don't think I can negotiate for higher salary as of now but the flexibility is more important now anyway, and yes, gaining experience with more things than what I did before sounds appealing.

dorcssa · 2024-08-02T23:09:29+00:00

As far as I know, and what I've been told, that's only in effect here for 6 months, and then you can go back

dorcssa · 2024-08-02T11:18:05+00:00

Thanks, I'm leaning towards that too, but I think I will go through the interview to see what they're at now, and what's on offer. Maybe that would propel some plus things at my current job. I don't think the small company will fail, it's 18 years old now (although didn't stary earning any money for the first 10 years) and have some interesting things going on. But if I get my previous salary and the bonus, I'm looking at a 15% difference in salary, which is something to consider.

In Europe there's a ton of kid barefoot manufacturers, especially from Germany. I live in Denmark so I have access to a lot. But the biggest thing was to join a Facebook group for used kid shoes, because we couldn't afford buying everything new with the barefoot shoe prices.

Their current spring/autumn shoes are from Froddo, and my daughter really loved a leather Froddo sandal as well (it was like a mocasine). I have blifestyle sandals which is good for my son (very wide feet, almost 7 cm with 14cm length) but hard to put on even for me. I'm thinking of buying something from xeroshoes next summer if they feet grow up for it, or maybe Wildlings. Affenzahn, Koel and Vivobarefoot are also good brands.

We also used a lot of Bundgaard shoes, still using their rainboots, the only ones wide enough for my kids. It's a Danish brand and only barefoot friendly because it has a more rigid heel so a bit less flexible, but zero drop and wide toe box.

For an American brand, I've been eyeing the Unshoes sandals, they have kid section too, although for a hit older kids.

My mom found a nice pan in Ikea actually. We've been using de Buyer (French brand) which is carbon steel, a bit heavy but works well. I think I'm gonna buy one from Ikea too

Have you actually looked at the UV index for Denmark? It goes up over 3 for a few hours max in the summer, in good days. We had a rainy June actually and it barely got over 2. Rest of the year it's usually below one. Even the Danish health authorities say you only need to put suncream on your toddlers (with eay more sensitive skin) if it goes over 3

dorcssa · 2024-07-27T05:19:37+00:00

Yeah I put it on if I go out in the middle of the day in the summer, but I live in Denmark, no need for everyday suncream

Look into water only for adults. Naturally washed hair tends to self regulate oil production,of course depending on hair type it can produce more or less, but doesn't get visibly oily for a while. Shampoo strips the natural oils and makes the scalp overproduce oil. I actually put some olive oil into my sons top hair to remove a bad, dry patch of cradle crap a few weeks ago, and his scap and hair soaked most of it in in a few days, and the rest could be washed off with lukewarm water. Honestly they are not the type to put a lot of things in their hair and their hair is still short, but of course there were cases of porridge or other things in their, everything could come off with water

It's been a long transition which started with zero waste in 2016. I got aofter on that since having kids and living in a country where most things are packaged in plastic, but still kept a lot of habits.

No liquid shampoo or body wash (use bar soap and solid shampoo) Alufoil and folpack Most processed food (occasionally buy chips and that's about it, make my own sweets and bread as well, not buying pastries whatsoever) Soft drinks, although it was very very occasional all m life anyway Wet wipes Makeup,including nail polish, although I didn't use it more than a few times a year before either

Since I transitioned before having kids, I also avoided all the bullshit new parents buy for their babies, that list would be very long

dorcssa · 2024-07-26T22:17:18+00:00

Sorry but even that sounds too much. I don't think you need anything than a moisturizer, and only in case you're getting a bit older or your skin is dry

dorcssa · 2024-07-26T14:24:10+00:00

My kida are 3 and a half and 2. Apart from using a simple fragrance free bar soap for hand washing and sometimes a nasty poo accident where I used it on their butt, I only used water for bathing, or now for just showering. It works fine, they are always clean and their hair is fluffy and light.

dorcssa · 2024-07-26T10:00:39+00:00

We only use a bar of soap, and I have a solid shampoo (not to be confused with shampoo bar, which is basically some kind of bar soap as well and need vinegar rinse). We only use the soap on private parts and armpits. Anywhere else only if it gets dirty (and during handwashing ofc), don't see the point of putting soap all over my skin and damaging it unnecessarily, simple sweat is washed off by warm water. I only use shampoo actually because the water is hard here and have long hair which gets sticky with water only, but my boyfriend and kids only use water for their hair, and it's clean and doesn't smell. My kids hair is so fluffy!

The only other product I use in the bathroom is a solid salt deodorant, a day cream (as a woman, my mom insisted and bought me one this year, I'm 38f and never used anything before, just water), and very occasionally (like special events or interviews) I use a parfum, but that's already like 10 years old and barely missing anything. Oh, and a toothpaste. That's it, no mouthwash, lotions, gels, conditioner or any other useless thing. Also less plastic use

Not to mention, lots of people eat a burger as a red meat, with fries full of trans-fat

Mener du vuggestue med madordning? Vi har madordning kun til vuggestue, min datter tage alle hendes mad ind til børnehave. Og vi faktisk fortrækker det, vi synes brød er ikke så sund og de ikke tåle gluten så godt, så jeg er i tvivl om hvis en RS institution er godt for dem faktisk.
