Toddler big sleep issues, eczema, tooth decay
My daughter just turned 2 a month a half ago. She has never slept through the night. She used to wake up 10+ times a night till about 18 months, now about 5-6 times, and sometimes we are up for a few hours in the middle of the night. She still nurses at night and many times a day, she is addicted and will scream horribly when denied.She also has eczema that has gotten worse recently and contributes to terrible sleeping, when she wakes up she is not able to fall back asleep and will itch for hours sometimes.
Also, her teeth are crumbling away! I worry it's the night nursing so I am really trying to get her sleep through the night, which hopefully will help her teeth.
She tends to get constipated too and it hurts her to go to the bathroom.
Her temperament is quite moody, gets easily frustrated or angry, is often whiny, cranky and clingy. She also has several fears, gets scared of some people, things and situations. Otherwise she is very social and loves company, people, and loves a lot of attention. She is very active.
Please, advice what to give her (mainly for her sleep issues! but also for others).
TIA!

Hi Kalex,
Here is a short article by a pediatrician on night breast feeding-
If it was my child, I would be going to a pediatric dentist
to keep damage to a minimum
This is an issue that dentists and breastfeeding advocates still dont agree on. There is research that supports both sides. Here is my opinion.
Most children get at least one cavity. Some children get several. A select few have a genetic susceptibility to have many cavities. These few tend to get cavities no matter what is done to prevent them.
Most children breastfeed. Some children continue to breastfeed into their second and third year of life. These children sometimes nurse once or twice a night.
Most night-nursers are therefore going to have at least one cavity. Some are going to get several cavities, and occasionally the child that has genetically weak teeth, and also happens to be a night-nurser, will get many cavities.
So when a night-nurser has a lot of cavities, dentists like to blame this on the sugar in the breast milk that sits on the teeth overnight. What dentists dont realize, however, is that MOST night-nursers either DONT get cavities or have only one or two.
Some studies have shown that night-nursers dont have any more cavities than children who are already weaned.
So here is my conclusion in general, night-nursing does NOT increase the risk of a child getting cavities enough to cause parents to intentionally wean their babies at night. You may have other reasons to do so, but do not wean at night in order to decrease cavities. If your baby night-nurses it is prudent to brush his teeth thoroughly first thing in the morning.
I do, however, have one exception to this. If a one, two or three year old child (or any age) shows signs of unusual tooth decay and numerous cavities, then the parents should do EVERYTHING they can to prevent further decay and cavities. Because there MAY be a slightly increased risk from night-nursing, the parents may need to wean the baby from night-nursing (and by all means, continue during the day as long as you wish)

Your remedy is: Calcarea Carbonica 200c.
HOW TO TAKE THE REMEDY:
Please take two doses 12 hrs apart. Just two doses. Not daily.
Report back in 7 days with changes observed.
WHAT IS A DOSE:
If remedy is Pills/Pellets:
One dose is one pill.
Dissolve the pill in your mouth.
If remedy is liquid:
Put one drop of the remedy in half glass of water, stir and take one tea spoon from it.
Thats one dose.
FOR CHILDREN:
If the child can't safely suck on the pill/pellets then one dose is made by dissolving one pill of the remedy (or one drop, if you have liquid remedy) in half a glass of cooled, boiled water. Stir it and take one tea spoon from it.
TIME OF DOSE:
First dose: At night before sleeping.
Second dose: 12 hrs after the first dose.
Dont take any more dose or any other remedy unless I tell you.
PRECAUTIONS:
If there is significant worsening of symptoms (called homeopathic aggravation) after the first dose, then dont take the second dose.
Dont take any other homeopathic remedy during this treatment.
Give a break of at least 10 minutes before eating/drinking anything before or after taking the remedy.
During the treatment, dont eat anything which you have never had all your life.
HOMEOPATHIC AGGRAVATION
Sometimes the symptoms for which treatment is being done can worsen after taking the homeopathic remedy. This is homeopathic aggravation and a good sign. It usually dies down within 24-48 hrs. During this time you can use any non-medicinal means to keep yourself comfortable. If the aggravation seems excessive, you can use any & all means necessary (including taking allopathic medicines) to keep yourself comfortable. Keep your homeopath fully updated if this happens.
HOW TO GIVE FEEDBACK:
A good example of how to report your progress is by giving %age improvement for all your health problems e.g.
Headache: 30% better
Low energy level: 50% better
Anxiety: 40% better
Sadness: No change
Depression: Worse
And so on list all your complaints.
IF I DONT REPLY:
If you dont hear back from me within 24 hrs, it is likely that the forums email didnt work. You can send me an email by clicking my username.
GENERAL INFO ABOUT HOMEOPATHIC PRESCRIBING:
If someone is giving several remedies, without waiting to see the effect of one remedy, then it is totally against the core principles of homeopathy. Such an approach is unlikely to give permanent cure, rather it may distort actual symptoms making subsequent cure even more difficult.
HOW TO ORDER:
You can get the remedies from this site or various other online sources, use Google search for it.
DIETARY & EXERCISE GUIDELINES (for adults):
Use common sense in following these guidelines and ask me if unsure. Homeopathy is not magic and it can only work when all other supportive strategies are also used. To make sure you are cured as fast as possible and stay that way please change your lifestyle to include the following:
1. Start eating half cup of low fat, plain, non-flavored yogurt with live cultures daily in the morning or with lunch. If you have homemade yogurt thats the best. Yogurt can cause increased mucus generation in some individuals, if you are like that, dont eat yogurt. Rather start eating roasted black chick peas (also known as Bengal Gram) daily.
2. Stop all processed foods e.g. white bread, white rice, white burgers etc.
3. Eat whole foods only i.e. whole grain bread, brown rice, brown burgers etc.
4. The bread should be high in bran content & the flour should be coarse ground.
5. Start eating a small bowl of salad at least once a day e.g. it should contain cucumber, carrots, salad leaves, tomato and any vegetable you like. Put a dressing of olive oil & raw apple cider vinegar and put some salt & black pepper to your liking.
6. Eat at least 1-2 fruits per day e.g. apple, orange etc.
7. Drink enough water so that your urine is clear. Yellow colored urine is a good indication that you are dehydrated.
8. Eat only when hungry and when eating, dont overstuff yourself.
9. Focus on food only when you eat i.e. dont divert your attention by watching tv etc.
10. Exercise:
Aerobic activity e.g. Start walking at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week with your spouse/friend and achieve your target heart rate.
Strength training e.g. Start weight training at least 20 minutes 3 days a week.
LIFESTYLE CHANGE:
No amount of treatment, be it homeopathic or allopathic, can cure if the persistent cause is not eliminated e.g. if you keep moving a broken bone repeatedly then it will never heal since you are not giving it the required break to heal and set the bone. The same logic applies to constant immense stress (dont confuse it with daily life stress which is necessary to survive).
Extremely unhappy relationships are toxic in nature and only breed more contempt & ill health unless they are addressed and proper remedial measures are not taken.
HOW TO TAKE THE REMEDY:
Please take two doses 12 hrs apart. Just two doses. Not daily.
Report back in 7 days with changes observed.

I'd recommend that you follow the eating/exercise guidelines as your daughter is breastfed and what you eat and stress you face has a lot of effect on her too.
All of this should help otherwise we need to treat you too.

Thank you for the suggestion!
I was reading up on the Calcarea carbonica and a few things do fit her, but many don't. For example 'Calcarea carbonica children discover early in life that they are slower than others their age. During play, they find themselves slow at games and sports' She is very physical and does very well in various sporting activities for her age.
Another one that doesn't fit: 'This self-reliance is illustrated by the child who can be left for an hour to play alone while his mother cleans the house.'
Few other traits don't seem to fit for her. One does fit well though: 'Obstinacy is a major clue to the remedy.'
I do feel that many Lycopodium characteristics fit really well:
'Two distinct types of behavior can be observed in Lycopodium children. In one type, fear and apprehension affect every aspect of the childs life. In the other, the child is bossy to the point of being dictatorial and strives to control those close by, be they parents, siblings, or friends. For instance, in a mother-son relationship, the child, not the adult, controls the relationship.'
To restate the characteristics of the Lycopodium psychology mentioned thus far, we may safely say that the children fear being alone and being around new people and situations.
'This desire for power is strong and takes many forms. One may hear parents complain of the headstrong, cranky Lycopodium who controls the household.'
Is it possible for her to be Lycopodium instead?

I was just making sure I described my daughter well in my original post. Also, I am trying to learn more. I don't understand homeopathy as I am just starting with it, so my question wasn't to argue your suggestion, I am just trying to learn more and the reason why some remedies are prescribed over others. I am really fascinated by homeopathy but I find it quite confusing when studying about different remedies, as so many seem to fit partly that I feel they all apply, while at the same time most have parts that don't apply. It's almost as if they all have parts that seem to fit and all have parts that don't.
I do appreciate your suggestion which I am planning to try. I was simply looking to learn more and clarify my daughter's tendencies.

Your question '....the reason why some remedies are prescribed over others...' is what makes homeopathy so challenging to practice.
There are several factors which go into choosing the correct remedy. Evocationer wrote a very nice article on this forum in that regards. Maybe Simone can guide you to that one.

Hi Kalex,
Since this is a volunteer site, most people have time to study the case and prescribe

I'm not a homeopath - just a mothers advice - as my daughter had similar issues:
1) Make sure she also gets water to drink - as just nursing at age 2 will make her very thirsty.
2) Check with a homeopath regarding tuberculinum bovinum - which cured my daughter's eczema and other issues- gave her tub bov 30 c 1 pill per week at exact same time till she got better.
Best wishes.
