45 drops last night.
She woke up an hour later than her normal rroutine - so instead of 1015ish it was 1110 pm and then instead of 115am it was 215 am.
Her behaviors is normal, she likes to cause trouble and wants candy all the time.
So we are really trying to control hee sugar intake.
Her potty is normal. When she wakes up at night I take her for pee and her diaper is dry.
During the day she tells us when she has to go pee or potty.
Nothing abnormal observed in her behaviors.

Will do 45 drops again tonight.

DDoes it all sound normal or usual in some children ?
I'm worried about her

If you have done all the usual to adjust her sleep cycle, then an external intervention like this remedy is needed to break the cycle.

Sounds good. Will continue and see how it goes ?
Thanks

Finally some change.
Last night gave 45 drops again an at 615 pm. She slept around 740pm.
Woke up at 3 am after she probably heard little one cry.

So last night was the first night in months when she didn't wake up around 10pm.

Behaviors is fine.
She is overall a bit on the hyper side but I've been told that all or mmost kids at this age are and that's why it's called terrible 2.

Pee and potty is fine.
Nothing abnormal observed.

Please advise if I should continue with 45 drops every night till you advise anything otherwise ?

Thanks

Starting from today, we will continue for 2 more days and then stop.

Ok. So last night 45 drops again. She slept at 745pm. She woke up at 1030pm. I took her back to her own bed and she slept in about 10-13 minutes.
I came to work at 4 am but my wife told me that she was asleep till 515am and was awoken due to little one crying at that time otherwise probably would remain asleep for a little while longer.
Do you still want me to give 45 drops ttonight and then stop?

Behavior is fine except that she is a fairly hyper kid and sometimes hits us or scratches us and sorta smiles. I'm not sure if that's normal for her age but one thing we are concerned about is that in few ml in the she will start preschool and if she does that to another child in school then she is going to be in trouble and looks bad that we didn't raise her well and she is not a well disciplined child.
Any advise please?

Thanks

Increase to 60 drops tonight.

No amount of homeopathy can replace the values we instill in our children through discipline. You should let your displeasure be known to her through your expressions when she does something you don't approve of.

Keep in mind children will be playful and mischievous, so let it be. Only discipline when required.

Will increase to 60 tonight.

We definitely show the facial expressions. She also gets time out in the kitchen.

We will continue to teach her and discipline her when required. I thought I'd bring that in your attention.

Will report back tomorrow.

Thank you

Last night gave 60 drops at 605pm. She slept at 7pm. Woke up and came to my room at 1015 PM and wanted to go pee. So I took her and then she wouldn't go back to her room. So I laid her down beside me in my bed. She remained pretty much disturbed sort of twisting and turning and requested milk couple of times in 2-3 hours. I left at 330am and she remained asleep.
My wife text me that she woke up at 5am and was hoping she will nap soon.

So far the medicine doesn't seem to be working as per our expectations in my opinion.

Thanks

Go back to 50 drops.

Please bear in mind we are dealing with a child and I don't want it on my conscience to hurt her health the tiniest bit.

This is the best treatment in my view. We wait for 3 days and if things are not ok, you are free to try anything you like.

Will do 50.
I appreciate your extra caution. That's exactly what I expect. I'm not in a rush or not impatient. Just want to give you the exact picture. This way either you can suggest alternate meds or keep changing dose etc till favorable results are achieved.

My younger daughter who is 8 months old now had severe colic problem when she was born. Nothing was working. Have gripe water and oval drops etc.
Then someone got my a homeopathic medicine TABS. I dissolved in water and gave her and it made her even worse. So after few days I stopped and she became better or the way she was before starting meds. So I have a feeling that it didn't suit her.

I hope passiflora starts kicking in.
Otherwise when and if you suggest then I have bought the other homeo drops centripedium 30.

I will keep you posted.

Thanks a lot for your ongoing help.

50 drops last night at 605pm. She slept at 715pm. Woke up at 1025pm. Came to my room and laid beside me. Then up at 1230am had some milk and slept. Then up at 440am. Then some nap.

Thank you
 
rizdagr8 last decade
Please give 60 drops today. This is my last attempt. Afterwards you are free to try anything you want.

Gave 60 drops at 605pm. She slept at 7pm. Woke up at 915pm. Remained in a state of disturbed (not deep / constant twisting and turning) sleep.
Woke up when I was going to work at 330am and I put her in toddler bed in the room with her Mom.
I have faith in homeopathic because I have experienced a bit myself and heard from others. My wife however was not too sure and it's just sort of proving her point that homeopathic meds don't work

I am thinking that since passiflora didn't seem to work very well, I'll first try to drops 3 times a day of 'Cypripedium': and see

Someone also suggested chamomilla 30 two drops at night and in the morning so I'll keep this as a second backup after Cypripedium but if Cypripedium works than problem over.

It's very frustrating for us and her because this act of sleep or disturbed sleep could be a triggering factor of her hyper behaviour. And we both are restless because we are waking up all night with her and little one who is 8 months old.

Anyway I thank you very kindly for your continued support and advise. If you have any other advise I'm all ears

Thank you
Rizwan

Many a times there are physical factors which need to be addressed first before a remedy can work.

If its a genetic trait, we can't expect results.

If she gets even the tiniest bit of dozing during the day, we won't have results.

All I can suggest is to sleep starve her for 3 days in a row, combined with a heavy meal at night (containing fat) and 60 drops of passiflora.

Don't give her any milk in the middle of the night, just water in the bottle should be fine.

That's exactly what we have doing for 6+ months now. No naps at all. Dinner and then soon after bed time.
Our mistakes
1- gave milk at night so she doesn't cry and wake her sister up and actually believed that it's not fair to keep her hungry if she wants milk. Tried water in bottle but she wouldn't take and cry and with my shifts schedule I said just give her milk so she stops crying and I get some sleep.

2- didn't concentrate much on dinner with carbs and fats do she feels full through the night. Sometime she just doesn't want to eat proper dinner and there's only so much we can do:, I mean can't shove food in her mouth by force.
But overall we did what you have said: no nap, dinner, homeo as advised and set sleep routine every night Ethernet 7-730

I don't know, I guess I'll try taking her out for walks and runs ND see if that helps?

Just confused and want her routine to be normal. It is definitely in her genes I believe and my little one. Both hate sleeping

Thanks for your help

If there is any underlying issue not letting her sleep then we can try to treat her constitutionally, if it helps good otherwise no harm in it.

Please answer these leaving questions in place:

2. Physical appearance of the child (features, complexion, thin, chubby)
3. Milestones achieved and what age (teething, standing, walking)

5. What makes the problem better (e.g. warmth, cold, pressure etc.)
6. What makes the problem worse (e.g. warmth, cold, pressure etc.)
7. How is the child behaving during this problem (e.g. irritable, restless, tearful etc.)
8. How long the problem has been there
9. What is the reason of the problem in mother’s view
10. How is the child’s thirst & appetite
11. What does the child like to eat
12. What does the child dislike in food
13. How is the stool & urine
14. How is the child’s sleep
15. What is the child afraid of (animals, insects, darkness, alone etc.)
16. Where does the child sweat normally
17. How much does the child sweat (little, moderate, a lot)
18. Any problems with nose, throat, ears, chest
19. Describe the nature of the child (shy, headstrong etc. give details)
20. Is the child normally cold or hot
21. Was it a planned pregnancy
