newborn fearful

I think my child who was very peaceful immediately after birth, got mishandled by the nurse or someone and started to cry loudly when I again saw him (after three hours) in the nursery (incubator). they brought him to my wife after five hours. During this time, he was vaccinated.

Now he cries too much. pediatrician says a child cries at least 2 hours everyday, no matter what. I dont buy that!

He had a rash which was discussed in the topic here 'child's first remedy'

http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/13069/

I showed it to my homeopath and doctor, on my father's adivce. Sul and Ars helped at that time. Plus a cream was given. During this rash he used to cry too much and very loudly. After the rash subsided, the crying was less but not finished. at least 1-1/2 hr was there. sorry Sabra I didnt give Lyco, since Ars worked.

Then there was colic for sometime but that is passed too! but the crying is more or less there.

he tries to cling to me or the mother. want to be rocked to sleep. suddenly awakes during sleep, esp during the day and eve. Crying is more after 7 PM generally and lasts till one in the night. Now this pattern is also changing. Feeds sometimes for more than an hour. Crying is mostly helped by giving breast.

what I am concerned about is that this whole agonizing crying thing might imprint on his memory permenantly as childhood trauma and effect his personality.

I have given his complete discription in the above mentioned post.

additions are his face, eyes and mouth smells. has seboric infection on scalp (as told by the doctor).

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
i have not read your other post but wonder if you have considered borax? this would be more relevant if your babe cries on being put down in the cot (downward motion, dislike or fear of). I will look at other post later and know that others on the forum will know this posting better than me and be able to advise you more clearly than me.
Please do not worry too much about the effect of this on your child's memory - remember that although you cannot change what has happened your love for your child will be your child's most important and precious memory and your child has this love for life. :)

dear Erika, thanks for the help. I will consider Borax.

As for the child's memory, new theories and practice considers 0-3 yrs as the most important time of an individual's life where formations in mind are permanent! Out of this, 0-6 months is even more critical. I have read Dr. Montessori's research on this. Esp read 'The Absorbent mind' by her. I would advise everyone on this forum to read this book, especially the chapter 'Spiritual embryo'.

I will read this, thank you.
My own children, now adults, had some unwanted memories from birth and from schooling and this upset me at the time - but it was not anything I could have prevented - my own belief is that we cannot avoid these situations for our children as it is part of their life path - but we can be there for them to help with this path. Also no-one can recognise the good and love in life if they have no opposite to compare it with.

ALL this happened AFTER VACCINATION !!!.
Why do people allow their children to be vaccinated !!.
THe Japanese have stopped vaccination below the age of two years . Up to that age there is NO ImUNE SYSTEm fot the vaccine to work on. The baby is working on the mothers immunity granted by the breast feeding.
The best remedy -- to antidote the vaccine -- is thuja 30 twice a day for a week.

We CAN help childhood experiences if we are aware of them. Remind me to talk of it later.

For now...live in the NOW. The future does not exist.

Tjalal, Please check if anyone is using honey in anything the baby is using/eating. Stop it right away if so. Dangerous for the very young.

It is midnight here and will check early tomorrow.

Blessings, Sabra

is it really true that there is no need of vaccine in the early period. is there any medical report on it?

I really hate this vaccination stuff. After we got aquainted with homeopathy, we never got any shots. I never had the hepatitis shots etc.

Please give me some material to read about it. I'll try to stop this further stupidity! thanks people!
 
tjalal last decade
the real question is - 'is it true that there is a need of vaccine in the early period? Is there any medical report (without fear in it to scare parents) on it?????'
Look at the WDDTY (what the doctors don't tell you)website for information. Also look up websites on ingredients of these vaccines for an answer!
vaccines bypass the normal immune system process and are injected straight into the system before the body can build up its normal immunity - it is invaded at a deep level by the vaccine contents and a young immune system is meant to deal with this!!!???
the strange thing is that people say they are 'wary' of taking homeopathy because the remedies are unknown to them yet they willingly have really really unknown substances injected into their infants who have no voice of their own!!!
sorry to sound harsh, but read up a lot before you allow more vaccinations and then make your own choice......
 
erika last decade
erika, you're a gem. thanks. i'll read.
 
tjalal last decade
Remember the HONEY question?

Blessings, Sabra
 
sabra last decade
And remember vaccines can damage your health!.
 
passkey last decade
he's only taking breast milk. no honey
 
tjalal last decade
Hopefully no one is putting honey on any surface to make him happy?

Remedy for his fearfulness is SYPHILINUM 1M. Carefull with the spelling. Another is very similar. Only ONE dose.

Purchase smallest bottle, or someone you know may have some.

Blessings, Sabra
 
sabra last decade
Have you read the latest vaccine posting? Sabra
 
sabra last decade
sabra, just read it in Boericke. it doesnt really match him, does it? sorry!

how he's started catnaps. disturbed sleep and cries loudly when feels tired and cannot goto sleep.

should I give him thuja too!
 
tjalal last decade
Not all info on this remedy in Boericke. A lot of pointers for treating with Syphilinum are learnt while practising homeopathy and learning from clinical experience of self and others. Sabras advice is good.......
 
erika last decade
YOU may not think it matches, but you are not a homeopath??

Blessings, Sabra

:(
ok
 
tjalal last decade
syph didnt help either. Please help, his crying is really scaring me. His rash is gone now, for about 1 1/2 week. he got cold from another child. Samb Nig 30C is working for him.

but crying is not improved. he crying on a single cue.
 
tjalal last decade
can you describe more what starts the crying and what helps with the crying.
does he cry also from hunger or just so?
does breastfeeding also stop his crying still?
is he in pain anywhere - do you notice if he cries more in a certain place or position or whether when you pick him up?
is there any fever?
has he seen your homeopath again for help with this?
 
erika last decade
well Samb Nigra is helping the nose thing but I wonder if it would help his crying bouts.

yes, generally feeding stops crying but sometimes he just stops feeding a cries. He also sweats a lot during feeding. it can be considered a reason why he cries but generally we dont pack him much.

before he used to sleep straight ie face up. Now he doesnt. his hands seems to shake badly and he wakes up and starts to cry.

it looks like his crying is getting worse by day. before, when he was hungry, he used to get cranky then cries, now he simple goes to hard crying in matter a few seconds.

doesnt like being put down, esp when he's in bad mood. does stays on the bed when in good mood.

he used to feel better when picked up but now even that is fails somehow.

cries hard with tears.

no gas problem or any other pain.
 
tjalal last decade
the sweating during feeding - is this the head or the whole body?
The hands shaking when he wakes - can you describe this more?
does he have fever ever?
have you had his ears checked for signs of inflammation? does he seem as tho he may have earache or headache (some babies pull their ears or toss their head from side to side, with headache they cry if the head is moved, touched etc.)
Have you had him checked over by the doctor?
 
erika last decade
sweat during feeding -- on head.

he's sleeping flat of his back. his hands suddenly go vertically up and shake and he wakes up with a start.

yes, we had him checked by a doctor. No there is no ear problem or headache. he doesnt mind being touched on the head.

one more thing. his timing has changed from evening- midnight, to almost all day long. his longest sleeping hour is during night i.e. around 3-4 hours, sometimes.

another - his sleep is very less from day one. now according to the mother, he sleeps a total of around 6-8 hours. he is 2 months only.
 
tjalal last decade
it is possible that he cries because of lack of sleep. he does become more cranky when he wants to sleep but cannot.

Initially I would suggest chamomilla 30c - give 3 doses daily for 4 or 5 days to see if this helps. If it is not helping even a little after a couple of days then come back and ask us for more advice.
Maybe you already use gentle massage on your baby - if not then I would advise you to get a good book on this and try this also.
It may help to put some bach flower rescue remedy tincture on the mother's nipples before feeding also -if you dilute this first then you can avoid giving the alcohol.

If you suspect colic at all then look to the mother's diet to see if anything in particular may be coming through via the milk - with my kids it was when I ate tuna fish or cabbages!!
Is mum OK or is she very stressed? It sounds like you are probably both stressed (hardly surprising with all that crying from your dear baby), so I would suggest you both took rescue remedy and some Arnica 200c (arnica 200c twice daily for a few days)
 
erika last decade
it ready using Cham 30C. but I can increase 3 times to see the response, if you say.

we do use massage?

anything for opening the nose ... I mean non-homeo.

what is Back flower? is it homeo?

Tracy Hogg says mothers diet has nothing to do with it, but traditionally we believe it does, strongly :) Mother is ok, a bit weak and stressed out. we will use Arnica, thanks.

will wait for more!
