2 year old girl not speaking yet _{Page 3 of 4}

I have another question:
I know that Cherry juice alkalize the body. should I give her that ?

Thanks

Loving Mom

-

Do you agree with cherry juice ?

I dont think there is a connection between being told 'no' and the diarrhea.
She had cases of diarrhea before - but nothing chronic. Just like all kids that put things (like dirty fingers) in their mouth. I think its normal. She had much more incidents of constipation than diarrhea, since I remember.

We are having a tough day with her. she fell at friends house and bumped her head (It happens to her often). In another incident she was bleeding from her lips (dry chapped lips). before nat-m we had many incidents of dry bleeding lips - usually the upper lips get a vertical cracked line/split right in the middle under the nose. She usually doesn't let me put ointment so I have to do it at night when she sleeps.

She is very whiney / irritated today. she didn't stop crying from 11:20 am till now when she fell asleep 12:15 pm) an hour earlier than her usual nap time.

I am assuming her diarrhea make her feel sick (maybe tummy pain). she was very unhappy until she fell asleep.

I know dry lips is a part of the remedy. So do you think this is the right one ?

My husband and I feel that today she is just as crancky as before natrum m.
I had moments today that I felt that she is even cranckier than before nat-m. maybe because of her diarrhea. I realy dont know. I just want her to feel good and be happy.

Dear John,

I just posted a topic about my husband. titled: 'Help - Husband with insomnia and chest pain'.
If not too difficult for you - please respond to it.

Thank you!

Back to my daughter:
She was pretty cranky just before we gave her nat-m.
I can't point out a time when she was crankier than today. Its all so blurry. I am not sure nymore - although I know its important.

but even today - she movs from crying / whinning to happy and playing very quickly. She is happy as long as she gets what she wants and she is having fun.

'No' now became her favorite word, usually when she crys. Today she spent more time with her sister, so there was more aggression towards her sister.
She seems to regret after she is being aggressive. for example she was 'making nice' to her sister after being skolded for pulling sister's hair...

I know this wasn't very helpful.

Loving Mom

She woke up happy, had some cranky episodes with her sister.
She cried for rice milk. But waited patientley (!) until iwarmed it up.

At the moment she played happily by herself (!) in her room reading some books for at least 15 minutes.

OK. She is worse than ever. she moves from extreme crying about silly things (like wanting my sunglasses while I am driving and I am saying no) to simply being happy and playing with her father.

Is she overdosed ?

We are very worried and sad for her that she has to go through that. she is miserable. Please help!!!!

The sun glasses story reminded me of something that might be important:
She does mature things like a little woman altough she is only 2:
She does not like baby toys, stuffed animals etc. She loves playing with dolls ; pretending she is their mother; feeding them.
She is obssessed with ladies purses; sunglasses; car keys; and especially cell phone. she is like a little mature lady who likes 'real world' stuff and not baby stuff.

She is also flirtatious with man or older boys (teenagers); she smiles to them and gets giggly.
regarding older women or teenage girls - she just tries to take their car keys or cell phones...

I bring this up because both me and her older sister were prescribed mehdorinum as our constitutional remedy.

I thought this was important.

She went to sleep easily.

Thanks!!

talking is the same or even better after the nat m . not sure she said today 'dada look' when tried to get my husband attention. I dont think she put the two words together before, but I could be wrong.

The use of 'no' constantly is new, and started after the nat-m.

She is sleeping pretty deep now. I hope tomorrow will be easier for her.

Thank you so much !

We had a realy tough night -
She cried out of her sleep and for a very long time I was rocking her in the rocking chair. She , again, asked for milk and banana in the middle of the night, I gave her only water. for couple of hours she was restless and moving and crying out of her sleep. that was a nightmare for me too.
To my surprise - she woke up calm and refreshed.
She was so happy and good this morning, almost like the crying last night was to get something out of her system. at any rate this morning it was not there anymore. she was not hungry. she did not demand milk. like she used to. simply happy and calm. it was great to see her like that again.
I took her to pre-school at 9 am. she had no problem saying good bye to me when I left her there (sometimes she did have (before nat-m) problem when I am leaving her there.

So I hope this will continue.

John, Let me know if I need to do anything.

Happy Loving Mom

actualy she wasn't waking up at night before nat-m. She used to sleep through the night (unless she was sick with a cold /cough).

The last two nights (since nat-m she is waking up and asks to eat.
This morning however i think things have changed. she is calmer. I hope tonight she will sleep without waking up.

Thanks!!

Dear John,
Thank you for your support in the thread regarding my husband. I am so worried about him that I feel I neglect to observe my baby well yesterday and today.

But I will do my best to tell you what was going on with her:
yesterday she had a wonderful and calm day. She was simply sweet through out the day. Her teacher in school said she was talking much more. she said that my daughter spoke out loud all the kids names and she built a whole sentence: 'No, I am all done' when offered more snack to eat. she said this sentence twice. That is wonderful.

last night she slept through out the night. She slept good and quiet. what was amazing is that she was at the same position (sleeping on her side) most of the night without moving. very calm. that's amazing because she is usually like a fish in bed- just keeps on moving out of her sleep. I often find her sleeping on the carpet in her room because she rolled out of bed (she sleeps on a low futon mattress on the floor).
This morning she was happy and calm. she wasn't very hungry and didnt ask for milk. but when we did get to the kichen and she got her milk she asked for another one - and cried when I didn't give it to her. I ended up giving up and giving her a second bottle of milk.
She had another very soft stool this morning it seems like diarhea, but it did not fill her diaper like the one from yesterday morning.
overall she seems happy today, no cold symptoms.

regarding cold symptoms: only after she cried about the second milk her nose got a little congested. but that fixed itself.

I forgot to write that yesterday all day her nose was dry and no other cold symptoms, only twice during the day she had a tiny bit of clear nasal discharge coming out. I tried to think what triggered it. the only thing i could think of, is that the first incident of clear nasal discharge was right after I fed her yogurt. so maybe she is sensitive to dairy. but also this was naturally flavored yogurt with strawberry flavor. (since its just the flavor and not the acidity of the fruit i thought its ok to give her that).
The second incident of clear nasal discharge was at a party we went to last night, she got a hold of some potato chips, some were salty, and I couldn't get to her fast enough to stop her from eating it. I noticed the discharge shortly after. but also it was at a house with lots of animals, dogs , parakeets etc. so maybe that was an allergic response, although the nasal discharge went away very fast.

By the way 'potato chips',
I dont know if I mentioned it earlier - but she loves starchy food - rice, potatoes, rice milk and bananas. maybe the starch is causing the runny nose ? I must say that beside these two short incidents - her nose was dry throughout the day, no coughs and over all she is very happy.

her lips are not dry, the upper lip did not crack open again after this one incident on sunday. I must add that in the past when her lips were dry and her upper lips cracked - it was not all the time - only occationaly from time to time.
she also loves sweet stuff and very spicy/salty stuff

she spoke a new word this morning and was easy to seperate from her at pre-school.

with all the stress that is going on with my husband - this is truly a wonderful point of light that shines on us.

Let us know if anything to do, or just to observe :)


Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

Loving Mom

I never give her cow milk to drink - just rice milk. She was nursing until she was 16 months or so. Her cow milk products intake is minimal - maybe one organic yogurt a day. Sometimes cream cheese on a bagel.

keeping the salt low is very difficult. especially that she is not allowed fruits now.

Last night she was sleeping on her right side (right arm underneath). sometimes (before the nat - m remedy) she would also sleep on her tummy. I will observe every night and let you know her sleeping position.

Regarding my husband:
you wrote 'encourage meat red meats' ? Because before I was advised to stop red meat. So I want to know exactly what he should eat: I am clear to stop any acidic or fruity food.
So you suggest he should eat protein diet ? meat ?
are carbs and straches ok for him (breads rice cereal etc. ?)

By the way - also regarding my daughter - is Banana a fruit ? do you consider it acidic ? my daughter loves bananas and I always considered it as starch and not fruit. Should she and my husband be allowed bananas?

I will update you at least once a day,

Thank you so much,
Loving mom

John,
She doesn't like meat, chicken or vegetables. She likes fruits - but she can't have that now. so no dairy and no wheat ? the kid will starve and eat nothing. beside rice milk she will eat nothing and she wil be deprived of nutrients.
why do you suggest such a extreme diet ?
today she had yogurt - but no runny nose. maybe its not the dairy?
she is pretty skinny for her height and I am concerned that she won't be getting the nutrients needed for growth at the age of 2.

She had a weired day today:
she had a good mood and was great in the morning. had a great seperation from me at school, but I was told by the teacher that she was hurting/hitting /pulling hair and throwing stuff at other kids, especially younger babies (which she loves and usually very gentle with). the hitting was not a result of aggression, or anger and being mad at someone. she was happy, but simply hit other kids. the teacher said she even had a smile on. she was punished to stand in time out twice today.
when I picked her up she seemed happy.
she is trying real hard to put together sentences of 2 or 3 words. her speech is definitley better than before the nat-m. thanks!

the evening went ok. she did hit her sister several times and kept on sayiong 'no' when we skolded her. she cried and was upset when we put her in time out (we ask her to lay on the carpet and that's her time out).

But putting her to sleep was a pleasure: she was loving and sweet and calm. talked a lot, constantly, I think she is excited that she can say more words (even if I dont understand the sounds or what she is saying), because she couldn't stop talking.

she finally fell asleep 1.5hours after her usual bed time.

I hope she will be calmer tomorrow morning.
your thoughts regarding hitting the babies at school ?

thanks,
Loving mom
