10-month old baby needs help
HiMy son is almost 10 weeks and he has a few problems as follow:
- Recently (since 2 weeks ago) he has started this spitting up and since a few days ago kind of vomiting. They happen after each and every feeding . spitting up is usually happens with burps and they are cheesy. Vomiting happens either immediately after feeding in which he brings up a large amount of milk (not cheesy) or it happens in several session after feeding. I mean sometimes even an hour after feeding he brings up milk. I thought this may be because of indigestion so since this morning I have started silica 30 c. So far I had just 1 dose. I can also feel that sometimes he brings up stuff into his mouth and then swallows back (sort of belching I guess). I am getting worried cause these are happening even during the night. I have to mention that during the night I cant get him to burp most of the time because he is sleepy. One more thing: this vomiting has started since I have been trying to feed him every 3 hours instead of 2 hours. he normally prefers to be nursed every 2 hours. he also gets hiccups after almost every feeding. Another note regarding his digestive system: if I feed him between 6-8 evening he becomes colicy.
- He has a nappy rash around anus area. The size of rash is about the size of a penny. I have been applying a cream with 12% zinc oxide and calendula and tea tree oil for 10 days now but no improvement. Maybe even it gets bigger a little bit.
- He has been very jumpy and startlet during his sleep and still is. So I have to swaddle him otherwise he wont be able to sleep. He may go to sleep but then after a few minutes he will wake up by one of those reflexive movements. There are times that he is reflexive during his waking hours but very rare. In that case he jumped out of his skin with sudden voices. And sometimes for no reason for example when he is playing by himself he opens his arms out all of a sudden as if his arms are being stretched by something.
- He has this asthmatic breathing since birth. 3 different pediatrics checked him in addition to those who monitor him at the hospital and they all said that nothing is wrong with his lungs. It is just his breathing system is still immature. Anyhow, he is much more better but still has some sessions of asthmatic breathing and it happens only when he is going to sleep (the transition time, from waking to sleeping) or in sleep. When he is in deep sleep it doesnt happen. During asthmatic breathing he breathes as if he is trying to catch the breath and his eyes roll up. He breaths fast and you can see the movement of his lungs going in and out.
Here are the general characteristics of him:
- a happy and very good tempered baby. Wont cry unless he has a problem.
- very active and energetic (maybe I should say restless), almost always moving his legs as if he is riding a bicycle and his arms as well. He has powerful kicks.
- Very very alert and smart. Anybody who has seen him wont believe that he is 10-week old. His eyes are very alert and inspecting everything around him. He has been like this since his birth.
- He has a pale complex
- Almost regular bowel movement. But the stool is not always the same. The texture is different from time to time and sometimes smelly.
- He is exclusively breastfed.
- Sometimes the stomach is full of wind and rumbling.
- Drooling when he is wake up.
- He sleeps very little and he rarely goes into deep sleep. Also restless sleep during night. Sometimes I put him in bed and he sleeps for like 20 minutes and gets up very fresh so he can stay up for 2-3 hours after.
- He doesnt take pacifier and instead he sucks his fingers when he wants to go to sleep or when he gets bored.
- Sometimes he becomes fussy before sleeping because he has been woken up for 2-3 hours.
- He has a powerful suck.
- His percentile is 50% for his weight and length and about 70% for his head.
- He has a dry skin which causes him to rub his eyes many times per day. He also has some kind of skin irritation which shows up as tiny red spots on his cheeks and nose and a little bit on his chest.
- He loves bathing.
- He loves outdoor.
Homeopathic remedies I gave him so far are:
- chamomile 30 c 1 dose for his colic but had no effect
- thuja 30 c 1 dose after vaccination
- ferr phos 30 c - 2 doses after vaccination
- kali mur 6 x- - 1 dose after vaccination
- cocyntal by Biron whenever he has colic
He was born by c-section because his heart beat dropped twice during labour. I also took a few doses of cimci and caulli during my labor to help dilation process, but I ended up with c-section as I mentioned. They gave me some medication to stop my contractions when I first admitted because of babys low heart beat and then they gave me epidural and then Pitocin but then the same medication to stop contractions, all through IV.
I also took several remedies during my pregnancy like sulphur, phosphor, if this is really important let me know and I will provide the list of remedies I took.
Sorry for the long posting but I want to find the best remedy for him.
Thank you so much for your help.

can somebody please tell me if it is safe to use 9c instead of 6 c for now and then when i get 6c i switch to that?
thanks
thanks

Hi,
It seems that aethusa doesn't work at all. I gave it to him for 7 days as instructed but no sign of improvement.
what do you think about Arg-N?
if you agree with Arg-N then should I give him 6C? how many doses? how long? I said arg-n because the condition specially gets worse after bath. also it seems that if I eat sweet stuff it gets worse. I am not sure of this because I just realized that today his condition is worse than ever and I have had cakes and some pastries since yesterday.
I appreciate your quick response cause he still has this problem of bringing up the contents of his stomach.

Dear Rishimba,
I gave my baby calc phos for 3 days as instructed, except that I could not find 12c so I used 6c instead. he is much more better now. Thanks a million for your help. he doesn't bring up anymore, just some spit ups which I assume is normal. interestingly the rest of the complains are gone as well. he is not jumpy anymore and the asthmatic breathing is gone. he also got these rosy cheeks which I love ;). His skin si still very dry and the nappy rash shows up as soon as I stop using cream. the rash spreading from inside his anus towards outside area.
again thank you sooo much for your help. could you please let me know if I should continue this remedy or start a new one?
best regards,
beth

please continue infrequently. its good for the proper growth of the child.
calc phos is good for bones and teeth. also it will give resistance to cough and cold.
calc phos 30c once in 2 to 3 days for some weeks untill all his symptoms subside.

Dear Rishimba,
again thank you for your help. I have a few quick question. I appreciate your response whenever you find some extra time.
1. on Dec 21 my son is going ot be 4 months and he will get the second set of vaccines on that day. so I am going to give him 1 dose thuja 30 c after vaccination. can you please confrim that there is no conflict between thses 2 remedies (calc phos and thuja)?
2. when and how can I find out his constitutional type? do you recommend using his constitutional remedy after taking Calc Phos?
3. my knowledge about homeopathy is limited so I was wondering if you can explain to me when should i be worried about proving? for example how many times I can use calc phos for him without being worried about proving? he is a very alert, curious and intelligent baby.
God bless you,
beth

calc and thuja do not interact. however, a gap of 48 hours between those remedies would be advisable.
its not possible to get the constitution of the child at this stage. when he is about 5 to 7 years old, his mental symptoms would surface and then it would be proper to analyse his constitution. for the present, you can administer remedies based on his physical symptoms and modalities.
proving symptoms might be seen if the dosing is quiet frequent. generally, 30c potency at an interval of 2 to 3 days will not bring proving. however, he is too young and has compatively less vitality. thus, to be on the safe side, you can give some 6 doses of calc and then stop for 15 days and then again 6 doses.. like that you can ensure that there wouldnt be much overdosing.
when you see that all his physical symptoms are over, you can stop the remedy.

Dear Dr Rishimba,
First of all I would like to wish you and yours the very best for New Year, fills with prosperity and good health.
As I mentioned above I gave birth 4 months ago (c-section). I have 2 main concerns:
1. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during my pregnancy. After delivery my sugar level was fine but now again it is high (around 145).
2. I dont have any desire for having sex whatsoever. In fact I havent had intercourse now for almost 8 months. We have been waiting so that I get ready but it seems that I am not.
There are a few other problems:
- My skin and my hair are become very dry.
- Sometimes no matter what I eat I am very flatulent.
- In general I have a lot of energy but it goes down to zero really fast. Like I need to rest every 4-5 hours. Especially after lunch I become very sleepy.
- After delivery I have a crazy desire for sweet and sometimes salty food. I eat cakes, pastry, honey, dates, chips, . When I eat too much cakes or pastry I get break out on my cheeks.
- If I dont feed my baby for 5 hours (like at night) my breasts become engorged.
If I have to explain more or provide more symptoms please let me know.
Thank you for your time.

- I have been thinking about this question for a few hours. My main physical suffering is a cyst that I have on the right side of my vagina, for 8 years. Interestingly it went away after delivery but it is there again although looks smaller than before. It is called bartholin cyst. But my main emotional suffering is somehow not clear. I need a few more hours.
- No, as a matter of fact I am not attracted to any man since my delivery. As for my husband that is because we are not sexually compatible. 2 different types. He is a good man and I love him but I dont enjoy having sex with him. We had a lot of discussions over this subject but it seems that there is nothing we can do. I am not interested in anybody else. Actually I dont feel bad by not having sex.
- I like both at the same time. for example sitting by the fireplace with windows open. Of course we dont do it but that is my favorite condition. I cant tolerate stuffy room. I like warm and fresh. Sunny with a breeze. Hate wind and cloudy. By the way my hands and feet are almost always cold. I also have a white mustache, I mean the top of my upper lip is sort of pale and it is so obvious that you can even see that in my picture.
- Bowel movement was very good until delivery. Then after delivery it became a problem. So for a while I used psyllium (not anymore). Now it is every 2 days (it used to be everyday) and if I dont watch my diet Ill get constipated.
- No thirst but I force myself to drink water and liquids because I am breast feeding.
- It depends on who that person is, but in general I dont like sympathy or pity. As a result I dont like to share my problems with others. There are some exceptions (I would say maybe 2-3 friends of mine that I would talk to them about my problems). I am very ambitious, decisive and aggressive. Sometimes if I cant express my anger I cry. I can be very aggressive and forceful

Main emotional suffering: it used to be my mother for so many years but then as I get wiser I got to the point that I accept her as she is. Then after delivery I was so in need of her and she didnt come over to help me. Again I became angry and still I carry some anger and some hate inside me about her. Another thing is that I am always kind of not satisfied with my life. I always want something else or something more. Although I should say after my sons birth this attitude of mine is more balanced meaning less demands and requests, but still have it. It is hard for me to take it easy. Everything has to be in perfect condition and since it is impossible specially with a child sometimes it hurts me and annoys me. I am organized and neat and I like everything in order and in place. I have this attitude that I should have the best or I prefer not to have it.
Please let me know if I should explain more.

please start treatment with SEPIA 30C two doses a day ( morning and evening ) for some days.
as soon as you feel a differnce in your mentals and energy levels, you can stop the remedy.
after a few days, if the symptoms return, just go for SEPIA 200C one dose every third day for some weeks till you see all your problems getting cured one by one.
report after a week of taking the remedy.

Sepia is a good choice to start with.
There are two possibilities, rather three.
One is already mentioned..amelioration.
Second possibility is slight aggravation of existing syptoms. You need to stop taking the medicine the moment you observe it.
The third possibility is getting new symptoms which you never had before. In case this happens stop taking the medicine and report back to Rishi.
Ofcourse the fourth one is that nothing may happen.
In any case, report after a week as suggested.

Dear Murthy thank you for your note.
Dear Rishimba,
I took 4 doses of sepia 30c in total (2/day for 2 days) and now this is the report after a week:
Emotionally I feel better. I mean I dont feel anger inside me as much as before. And I dont get mad from others sayings. I simply ignore them. I have this problem of crying though. When I heard specific music or when I read something emotional or when I see emotional movies. But again I feel relieved since I took sepia. I guess the look of my eyes has changed as well. Now I can see some emotions in them. It was more kind of robotic look before. My energy is still short-lived. Maybe that is because I am breastfeeding and that is every 3 hours sometimes even during the night. So I dont get to sleep very well. Less flatulence. Now I feel thirsty. Less craving for sweet. Skin and hair less dry. I still dont have any desire for sex. Constipation if dont watch my diet. Vagina cyst is still there. Lots of breast milk with heavy flow to the extend that sometimes my baby chokes.
Please let me know what I should do next.
Thank you

if you feel that gradually you are improving, please do not take further remedy and enjoy the feeling. i mean keep your mind relaxed and jolly. this is the direction of cure.
after a few days, of your feel that the symptoms are returning, please take one dose of SEPIA 200C or 1M on any one day morning empty stomach.
take another one only after one month and the third after another one month.
by this time you would be a cured in all respects.
best wishes..
