Always make a dosing bottle unless it is an emergency and haste is required. | | |

That is good to know, thanks.
Nico did pretty well last night when we cut him down to only nursing once. Though he did wake often, but getting him to go back down was usually pretty easy. I was expecting it to be much more difficult than it was. | | |

He is doing better at night but has become more clingy during the day. It started yesterday afternoon and he is the same today, not letting me do any cleaning and always wanting to be held. | | |

He could be relapsing. Wait a bit to be sure though. Other symptoms should start to appear if that is what is happening. Otherwise it could just be a bit of a 'wobble' in his health. | This thread continues beneath the following ad.

Good idea! I will keep you updated. | | |

He seems to be at the same point as when I updated a few days ago. He is more clingy than he used to be, but he's not getting any worse than that.
I am continually amazed how much better he's doing at night, though. I can't even describe how awesome it is to have the weight of his sleeping problems being slowly lifted. | | |
| Re: Case for David Kempson - son waking up hungry at night | From brisbanehomoeopath [Log on to view profile] | on 2012-02-07 |
I would still wait. The remedy might aggravate him if given too soon, and he is doing well so I don't want to upset that particular apple cart. | | |

For the past two nights he has cried more than usual when waking to eat. I'm curious to see how tonight will go. His temperament during the day is unchanged (which means he is still a little more clingy than he was last week). | | |

The nights have gotten worse and the days are slowly getting worse too! | | |
| Re: Case for David Kempson - son waking up hungry at night | From brisbanehomoeopath [Log on to view profile] | on 2012-02-12 |
Repeat the Pulsatilla immediately. We need to not let him relapse too far. | | |
| Re: Case for David Kempson - son waking up hungry at night | From joannadarling [Log on to view profile] | on 2012-02-12 |
Ok, last time I dosed him I forgot to hit the bottle, 4x you said. How many times do I hit the bottle this time? It still hasn't been hit those 4x. | | |
| Re: Case for David Kempson - son waking up hungry at night | From brisbanehomoeopath [Log on to view profile] | on 2012-02-12 |
Just hit it twice. | | |
| Re: Case for David Kempson - son waking up hungry at night | From joannadarling [Log on to view profile] | on 2012-02-12 |
Will do. He is already in bed for the night so I will give it to him first thing in the morning. | | |
| Re: Case for David Kempson - son waking up hungry at night | From brisbanehomoeopath [Log on to view profile] | on 2012-02-16 |
How did things go? It's been 4 days since I have heard from you. | | |
| Re: Case for David Kempson - son waking up hungry at night | From joannadarling [Log on to view profile] | on 2012-02-16 |
Sorry for the lack of update! He seemed to have an aggravation the first day, but is doing really well now! Back to being pleasant and sleeping well. Can't really believe it's my son !!! :) | This thread continues beneath the following ad.

Excellent. I am happy to hear it :) | | |

One thing that strikes me about going through this process - after Nico took Phosphorus (the first remedy he took), his desire for breast milk went down, and that's how I was able to wean him to only twice during the day, and eventually once at night. But this seems to have faded. Now he wants breast milk all the time. I always just offer him a banana instead, and he's fine with that, but he's actually asking for milk a LOT, much more than he was asking for it even BEFORE the Phosphorus.
So the Phosphorus must have changed that, temporarily, and then his Pulsatilla personality came out, and now he's all about the snuggles and the nursing. I kind of wish he didn't want milk as much as he does, but I guess if that's the only thing "wrong" with him right now, then life is pretty good :) | | |
| Re: Case for David Kempson - son waking up hungry at night | From brisbanehomoeopath [Log on to view profile] | on 2012-02-18 |
Perhaps he needs the breast milk right now. There is no 'right time' to wean. I imagine like everything, it would be somewhat individual. | | |

He is teething, waking up wanting to nurse all the time, chewing on his pacifier, very unhappy. What should I do? | | |
| Re: Case for David Kempson - son waking up hungry at night | From brisbanehomoeopath [Log on to view profile] | on 2012-02-21 |
Well repeat the remedy then. See how he reacts. | | |
| Re: Case for David Kempson - son waking up hungry at night | From joannadarling [Log on to view profile] | on 2012-02-27 |
Giving him the remedy again did help the teething, thank you. Should this be my standard response whenever he shows signs of teething?
He has recently gotten worse in terms of being clingy, and the nights seem to be getting harder as well. Do I redose him for this?
It seems like the initial oomph of the pulsatilla has worn off, even the last time I gave him the remedy for his regression, it never seemed to take him back to how good it worked the first time. | | |

Hi Joanna,
don't know if you are aware
but David has a serious illness
and not going to be on the forum
very much- see the post
wishing you a speedy recovery. | | |
| Re: Case for David Kempson - son waking up hungry at night | From brisbanehomoeopath [Log on to view profile] | on 2012-02-27 |
It is true I will not be on here much. I will try to visit occasionally to give a little advice but this will be limited.
You need to get the higher dose of Pulsatilla which is 1M. The 200 does not seem strong enough to hold for him.
It is more that you would give him the remedy when he shows the characteristics of Pulsatill, not just because he is teething. Clingy, whiny, crying and wanting to be hugged and held, not wanting to be alone, but without the anger and agression of Chamomilla. | | |
| Re: Case for David Kempson - son waking up hungry at night | From joannadarling [Log on to view profile] | on 2012-02-27 |
So sorry to hear the news, David. I pray you recover well and quickly.
Thank you for your continued advice, you have been a blessing to our family! |
