Re:HELP! I have a non-sleeping baby

[Guest guest]

Never having had a kid, I can only speak on hearsay, but during teething don't

they always put things in their mouth to " cut " their teeth? Could it be that the

teething led to pain (and perhaps little sleep, which brought down the

immunity), which led to " cutting " , which led to foreign objects going into the

mouth, which led to bacteria going into the throat/eustachian tube area towards

the ears? Just a thought since you are having selective recall )!

 

The herbs and dosages are 1/3 as follows:

German Chamomile - (for digestive or teething) 1 level tsp. to 1 c. of water as

an infusion up to 3x/day.

 

Slippery Elm - make a paste with the chamomile infusion and apply to the gums.

 

Chamomile or Linden for sleep - make 1/3 of the adult infusion and drink 1-2

cups before bedtime

 

Earache: one drop garlic oil on a cotton ball and apply ( you may go w/o the

cotton ball, but I don't know about the sensitivity at that age)

 

In Health,

Thanks for the ideas. On the one hand I think he is past the age for colic,

since he is 9months. I have been using the Hyland's homeopathic tablets f or

colic and for teething. They seem to help a tiny bit, but do not help hi s

sleep... In what form and how much would I give him the various herbs you

suggested?

Have you checked for colic? Tried german chamomile for teething/sleep/col ic?

With slippery elm for teething/colic? With ginger, anise, fennel for co lic?

with linden flowers for sleep?
