Digest Number 160

[Guest guest]

I love to use grapefruit in a soaking bath after a rough day. I put about 3

or 4 drop of grapefruit (for reviving) and 3 or 4 drop of lemon (for my

varicose veins). I keeps me going to do the household stuff after I come

home from work. I feel I've got my " second wind " .

Thank you Martha and Rebecca for your responses.

My client is vata/pitta close to equal maybe a little more pitta. She is

very even tempered. She has three other children in the house below 8. 1

is in school every day. So I think that the baby gets lots of stimulation.

 

I don't doubt it may play a part in the reflux. She has plenty of milk,

we just dealt with clogged ducts past week and now they are gone. When the

milk comes out I notice that the baby chokes and probably gets too much air

I did tell her to press across the breast to slow the flow. She is very

religious about her herbs and drinks the fennel fenn tea daily close to 11/2

to 2 qts. Maybe she should slow down on that? I was thinking would be good

for baby tummy. I am using olive oil very little but have used it mostly to

coat veggies or add to sauces. I am using ghee way more.

 

I think it could be spinach as the culprit because the green poop happened

one other time in the beginning I had made it. Baby is almost 3 weeks old

now.

 

Baby is pitta gets really worked up around 6 pm sleeps well at night and

will go for about 4 hour stretch in the beginning. He was very big

9lbs13ozs. Mom is teeny 5'4 " very small bones. I don't know how she got him

out but she did-she is very determined. I am definitely going to use the

recommendation of nursing in a quiet place. Maybe have the others do quiet

activity while mom nurses. I am not there all day so I cant help her with

watching other kids.

 

 

Thanks again! Cant wait to see you!

Sonya

Martha, or any one who would like to respond,

Are green poops from a baby something to worry about? They are not meconium

poops for sure they are more watery. Also what can be done for reflux in

baby? My client is following diet very well and is adhering to the program.

I told to hold baby at 45 degrees and not to lay baby down after feeding and

to make sure baby has at least 2 hours between feedings.

Thanks Sonya
