Hello all.

Well, GM, you were right about the NV. It seemed to help for a few days, then we wereback where we started.

I didn't understand that you were reccomending the Calc C for me to take-- and it would pass through breastmilk for baby. Took this 4 days ago. I didn't notice any change for the first day. Except I was just as cranky and stressed (baby kept crying). Then the following day she seemed more content, less crying and had a normal stool!!!!!!!!! With onlt a bit of effort (no distress).

Her basic temperment is still whiney, high need. Maybe that's just the way she's made?? This seems to be happening only at key times: hunger, fatique, lonliness. I can accept that.

The major problem we're encountering now is that she's not sleeping soundly-- waking a lot with noises, passing gas etc. I'm not getting much sleep consequently. It's pretty difficult to be cheerful when I'm so exhausted. Is this a by-product of the remedy? I had begun taking a Wild Yam supplement when I went off coffee (for the energy). I've taken that for the past year successfully, and had neglected to refill it during the last 2 months. I thought that might be causing the waking, but stopped taking it and baby is still wakeful.

The other concern is the thrush. Our pediatrian said to ignore hers (in her mouth), and focus on excellent hygiene for my breasts (cleanse often with white vinegar dilution or melaleuca oil). That may be ok, but she continues to "grow" this and it's painful to my breasts as I nurse. Should I just get a pharmaceutical to deal with that?

Oh. A sidenote. I have been annoyed with sore, dry/cracking lips for months since being pregnant. I arose today and my mouth looked and felt perfect!! A nice gift

Thanks again for any help or referral.
