DELFINEN offers classes in swimming, babyswimming and life saving.
Our vision is to offer enjoyment and safety in the water - "Glede og
trygghet i vannet", and our courses follow the principles of gentle
approach, focusing on each baby's (and parents') feelings of trust,
safety and joy. 
Each course follows a structured plan with a specific theme for every
class. We have songs, small games and a lot of social interaction and
fun. We also give an introduction to lifesaving and CPR for babies to the
parents. To make our courses an all-family activity, we allow two adults
in the water with each baby, so both parents or even grandparents may
attend at times. 
English speaking course in Babyswimming beginners, Wednesdays 12:30 pm,
at Lassa Rehabiliteringssenter, Lassa, Stavanger.

Reflexology by Louise McBeath
IIR MAR, RN

Reflexology is a relaxing, non-invasive treatment and is suitable for all ages.  Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all organs, glands and structures in the body.  By stimulating these reflexes the body is encouraged to work naturally and restore its own healthy balance.
Reflexology can help with stress, migraine, sleep disorders, hormonal imbalances, arthritis, back and neck pain and digestive disorders. It can help to ease or prevent many discomforts and ailments commonly associated with pregnancy.  Postnatally, reflexology can help to balance and harmonize the body at this demanding time, reduce anxiety and tension and increase vitality.  It  can also be used to help with many minor baby ailments.
Reflexology is a complimentary therapy and should not be considered as an alternative to conventional medicine

Here are some links for washable nappy supplies in Norway:

For second-hand baby equipment: prams, cots, stairgates etc etc. you can try this site. It has many different catagories but for baby equipment you need to click on 'Torget' (market) and then 'Barneutstyr' (children's equipment).  The site covers the whole of Norway so you might want to narrow your search to Rogaland to find sellers within a sensible radius.
