  • Lunai Lunai:

  • Lunai Lunai:
    🙄😅 yeah well not entirely voluntarily... my babygirl is toothing again... and again 2 at the same time... and on top of that it's both upper corner teeth/eyeteeth (what's the commonly used term?) 🫣
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    Aww, yeah teething can be horrendous @Lunai . A friends bub just wouldn't stop drooling - it was a struggle to keep her hydrated! And do you mean the canines? :)
  • Lunai Lunai:
    yeah well we don't have problems with drooling but with pain... everytime she gets new teeth it's always several at the time and always so fast an d painful, that she can't sleep without painkiller 🙈 🙄 have tried in the beginning with homöopathica and other natural stuff but after 2 nights with less that 3h sleep I gave up😅 yea then I suppose it's the canines 😁 I'll use anything you say @Mandy Onderwater ;)😂

  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    Ahh yeah. Sometimes homeopathic sadly falls short, but it's a very good place to start @Lunai . I think to help friends bub with her teething we gave her a lot of sugar-free zooperdoopers. They were awesome. Especially as she teethed during the Summer, so it helped hydrate and cool her down, with the added bonus of calming the irritated and sore gums.
  • Lunai Lunai:
    BUt that still doesn't help at night 😅 🙈 so for us it's painkiller at night and at day she is occupied enough to be able to ignore or forget about the pain
  • Lunai Lunai:
    Godd morning everyone! And have a chill Sunday
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    That's very true. Perhaps a frozen dummy to fall asleep with? But that wouldn't last throughout the night... tricky. Medicine might indeed be your best bet for nighttime @Lunai
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    Aah, Sundays are grocery days. What is chill? :p
  • Lunai Lunai:
    ha, you can't do groceries on sunday in germany... everything is closed but the bakery and that is only open until 10am 😂
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    Ahahah, well that's no good
  • D daveb:
    it used to be like that here years ago what was referred to as " blue law " sunday all businesses had to close do to laws based around the sabbath and church lol. chuckles a bit there is still law on the book that it is illegal to to declare do not believe in god and a small section of the wording also stated illegal to not believe in god. there are still many states and local areas that have blue laws and many Counties and towns that are dry no alcohol of any kind. some very old laws are still in place
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    It used to be a thing in The Netherlands too, but since I lived in touristy Holland they abolished it. Shops aren't usually open as long on Sundays though.
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    Poor Mark has been quite sick. Hopefully he feels better soon! 🤗

  • A Ambear:
    We saw his video short where he made a healthy shake from the garden; he said he has the flu. We recently got over covid; our first time having it was two years ago. People have said that RSV is going around again also. Hope he gets well soon.
  • Lunai Lunai:
    oh stop it... my little girl had RSV with just 8 weeks old 🙈 we escaped the intensiv care unit by hair width at that time... no need to repeat that on my side
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    There's been a really bad flu going around that knocks people on their butts for 2 weeks. No joke. Even our nurse neighbour who is one to tough out just about anything was housebound for 2 weeks straight. It's pretty bad...
  • Lunai Lunai:
