12 month old still wakes 6-7 times at night to nurse
My 12 month old son is still waking every 1-2 hours at night to nurse. He is also refusing most solids and is still 95% breastfed.Our homeopath told us to give him Calc carb (his head circumference is 97th percentile. Weight is 30th percentile), and also to give him Calc Phos 6x two to three times per day. We've been at this for about 7 weeks now, with no change in behavior. He's had a total of 12 doses of Calc carb 200c, and innumerable doses of Calc Phos 6x.
I was thinking of trying him on sulphur, because I heard it can be good to detoxify mercury, which he may have a problem with. His hair analysis showed arsenic and tin, but these two being high can also be a sign of high mercury.
What do you guys think? Any remedy suggestions for him?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I just gave him Sulpher 30c, so we'll see how he sleeps tonight. I read a few of the other posts about children with sleep problems, so I felt comfortable starting the sulphur. Is 30C an ok dose?
Ive been giving him Chamomilla 200C at night time, and that seems to help him fall asleep initially but doesn't keep him asleep. Sometimes he wakes up 20 minutes after going down and doesn't want to nurse, but takes a while to fall back asleep.
Tonight I did not give him Chamomilla, instead I gave him Sulphur.
