Good morning Dr Anuj
Update:-- it was a bad, sleepless night. He slept for an hour, then woke up screaming, don't know what makes him cry so hard- surely he dorsndo have any pain.

Then he sat down, fussed, cried for almost an hour. After that he settled, stopped crying, but dint sleep well...woke up every 10/15 minutes until 5 AM. Then slept well till 6 AM.

Now he seem tired, droopy eyed etc due to the lack of sleep .

Pls guide us further Dr. Thanks, have a great day

Ok...but will continue nat phos as usual??

Ok dr

Hello dr
Update:- it's 2:30 pm here, my baby hasn't slept for even ten minutes till now. He seem very irritable, cries, wants to be carried around, he is definitely sleepy but is fighting it. And isn't interested in playing also. He takes his usual feeds, pees, etc... is rubbing his face, eyes and cheek. Doesn't seem to suffer from any ailment. No gas, spit ups, etc

Pls help, really exhsutede.

Hello Dr,
Thanks for understanding. Yea, it's very difficult to manage a fussy& sleepless baby alone, don't have any help till hubby arrive at 7 PM.

He slept once at 4 pm, woke up screaming. No spees after that.

Now he is having hiccups.

That's all for the day, awaiting your response, hope he sleeps for sometime at least. Exhausted to the core

Thanks again.

Hello Dr,
Goodmorning.
Thanks dr, My baby slept very well yesterday, in fact it's the first time he slept soooo well. We are relieved, what magic I don't know, he slept in 2 hr stretches from 9 pm till 7 am, only once did he startled and once he screamed, but I could easily comfort him.

Regarding your questions-- he is on isomil from 2 nd month of birth, soy based formula because he has milk allergy. Pooping is once every day, hard& smelly stools, but he passes them without much stress. Now he takes solid food, juices etc at least thrice a day(babanb & ragi cereal, idli& dosa, bananas, apple& orange juice, rice soup, etc)

He hasn't been on any antibiotics in the past 4 months or so. No other supplements too.

He is clingy, always, but it to me and to my parents back home.

He feeds well, no gas n spit ups after taking nat phos.

He is yet to get teeth, but stands up, crawls, sits down, etc etc, I would say he is very athletic, always mobile.

Regarding weight, he is in the lower percentile, weigh 8.5 kg and this is his 9th month. Height is 69 cm

Another observation.... I guess he is missing my home & his grand parents and nature( we are in a flat here) and that's why he is fussing. He was very close to them.

He rubs his cheek, gums etc which makes me think he has discomfort due to teething. He utters a few words too. He is afraid of strangers, it also started after coming here. He was very friendly to all, back home. He cries when we visit our froenfr homes, but will be ok after an hour or so


That's all for now Dr, pls guide us further. We really look fwd to your guidances.

Have a great day, thank you

Would like to add this...

He look pale and anemic at times,, asked his paed, he added iron drops, it made him very very constipated, so we stopped it. Paed told we will re start it later.

Hello Dr
Thanks for the reply...will add calc phos too..
Btw haven't restarted NP after stopping yesterday. Now I understand I should, isn't it Dr?
Sure will updsth routinely.
Thanks and regards.

Hello Dr,
Sorry to post again.
Continue nat phos as 1-1-1??
He is sleeping ok, one nap in morning, one in noon, somewhat 1.5 hr long sleep cycles in night...got our Calc phos&started that.

Ok Dr. Not much signs of reflux, in that case, will wait before giving again. Thanks a lot dr.

Hello Dr
Update:-
He was doing fine until two days back when he started sleep fighting again. This is particularly with day time naps. He is very sleepy, but forces himself to open his eyes and sits down, cries a lot while doing this.

In night, he wakes up at around 2AM for the past 2 days, sits down and is in pkayfpl mood. Becomes very active n mobile, crawls& sits& stands& falls. Nothing can make him sleep until 4 or 5 AM again...

He is only on nat phos& calc phos... he doesn't have any signs of reflux like gas, spit up etc. No screaming in night, though he cries a lot in day.

Please revert dr. Awaiting your reply, sleep deprivation is the worst thing to be in.

Regards.

Hello Dr Anuj
He is definitely better on chamomilla, crying frequency n duration reduced, but it's still there. He woke up thrice last night, but was never up more than 40 minutes max.( Earlier it was like 2 hrs)

Napped from 10-11:30 AM, then had lunch and is sleep resisting now. Surely drowsy, but don't wanna sleep, hence is fussy and cries.

Continue chamomilla? What about salts- when to restart?

Pls revert when free,

Thanks & regards.

Ok Dr...will do as you said and will revert..thanks..

Hello Dr Anuj
Pls find the current update.

It's very difficult to make him sleep, However drowsy he is, he likes to stay awake and explore the floor by crawling. Then he tries as he don't want to sleep and we are trying to.

He weeps in sleep as if he had a dream or something, and then wakes up looking afraid, it's ok within a couple of minutes.

Not much signs of reflux.. he had a couple of spit ups yesterday, but it's only 2-3 ml of curdled milk.

Another thing that I noticed is his skin was rough particularly around abdomen, chest and back. Upon seeing, there are very tiny( dot like) harmless, colourless erruptions. It's not bothering him, no itch, no colour change,no infection, no fever. I am trying turmeric

In night, he is rolling to and fro in sleep, he is sleeping, but wakes up every hour or so.

He pooops daily, it's smelly as they always did. He is taking solid foods four times a day and likes to have it.

He cries when am not around, he mingles with others well, but need my presence nearby.

No signs of teeth, gums are little swollen, becoming hard, his bite hurts now...

He sweats a lot,(don't know if it's coz he never sits idle, always moving) mostly the head, even when the A/c is St 25 degrees.

That's all. Pls guide further.

Thanks and have a great day
