my baby daughter is 11 months old
she has always woken up 3 times per night , sometimes more often
she easily goes back to sleep as soon as i breast feed her
sometimes she wakes up just because of hunger but sometimes she cries as if she had some pain or was having a nightmare or so
she has had ostheopathic treatment already
is there any remedy that might help ?

Dear Elinor,

Is the crying very severe; almost terrifying? or Mild? (please explain)

Is the child eating o.k.? Any burps or flatus (gas)? Any vommiting or burping up food often? (please explain)

Is the child showing any preference to when time to eat?

What do you do to calm the child? Does the child fully respond to this?

How is the child during the day? Mood?

Is child show awareness? Overly aware?

Have you noticed that noises which seem not loud affecting the child?

Does the child seem to statle easily?

Any moles or noticable marks yupon the child?

Any accidents or traumas while you were pregnant with child? Did you fall? Experience a strong sadness? Any complications during pregnancy? Any medications during pregnancy?

Any complications during 'birthing'? (please explain)

I will stop here for now. Your response is being looked for.

crying is occasionally severe,not usually
difficult to be precise,Yana (my daughter) certainly needs comforting for some reason
If i dont come quickly (which is rare) crying tends to become rather severe
i offer her the breast immediately which mostly calms her very quickly

food
she is mainly still breastfed
not interested in having a spoon put in her mouth;wants to do everything herself including eating, she loves nibbling such things as carrots,bread,fruit,cheese, as long as she can do it herself
as she only has 4 teeth sofar chewing is difficult , i often now have liitle carrot bits etc in her stool

she has been "eating"like this for the past 3 or 4 months approx. ,the waking up has always occurred
she has always been breastfed on demand apart from that which she obviously enjoys very much

when very liitle hardly ever burped or after a long time,she used to spit up a bit of milk frequently , for the past 6 months approx it is rare. Now burps loudly and easily. However i sometimes have impression that milk is coming back up (without coming out).Rarely she has some coming out of her nose - this happened quite frequently in the first 3 months of life,now its very rare

gas ? dont know

time to eat: breastfeeds on demand
not very interested in other food until lunchtime. most keen on eating during afternoon (usually fruit + a little prune juice+possibly fresh squeezed juice)

without prune juice tends to be constipated
with it regular stools no problem

i would like to emphasize the fact that she wakes up sometimes at night obviously hunger related , but sometimes other problem
feeding generally calms her quickly
if hungry, she goes back to sleep quickly and easily after feeding

at other times she feeds and goes to sleep only to wake up again crying shortly after

Yana is generally very cheerful and happy,laughs a lot,loves playing
she hates being on her own, except if she chooses to go exploring (she started walking at 9 1/2 months)
she is very strong

in the mornings she can be "clingy",wanting to be carried a lot

extremely aware

isnt disturbed by noises but aware

she goes to sleep on the breast,takes from 10 to 30 minutes on average (much quicker during the night)

no moles or marks

no accidents etc during pregnancy
i tripped and fell once or twice but nothing major i think
no complications pregnancy or birth
except birth process was long (total 25 hrs,things only really got moving and painful for me during the last 4 or 5 hours, wasnt dilating before,blocked at 1 cm or so)
had a homebirth
no medications during pregnancy

i am looking forward to any suggestions or further questions
thanks in advance

do you mean C6 1 dose ?

Chamomilla x200 one dose, or c6.

Yes.

Yana has is taking some other homeopathic remedies at the moment
mornings : alternately LYCOPODIUM and SULFUR IODATUM
a mixture in the evening (which includes chamomilla and belladonna amongst others) etc
should i stop all these befor giving a dose of chamomilla ?
what is the difference between d200 AND C6 regarding effect?not sure i can get D200 in france
is there a risk of "side effects"

WHAT?!!! How long have you been givng this shit to the child? She may have a medical prooving/DISEASE, AND FOR WHAT DID YOU GIVE THIS, AND WHO RECOMENDED IT?. Dont give her any chamomilla before i know what you have done.
D is a bit lower than c, and besideS, SIDEEFFECTS? FROM ONE REMEDY? WHERE ARE YOUR LOGICAL SENSE? WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS MIXTURE HAVE AS SIDEEFFECTS? THIS MIX IS DANGEOUROUS!
iT MAY BE A FALSE DISEASE,WE HAVE ON OUER HANDS NOW, AND REMEDYS NEEDS ANTIDOTING ANYWAY TO BE CERTAIN THAT NO WRONG HAPPENS, BUT IT COULD ALREADY BE TO LATE.IT DEPENDS.

Dear Elinor,
GM was not upset with you, but with people gave you the mixture!
Which potency are the remedies? Maybe you really need to antidote, anyway STOP it and list the remedies (I don't think it's TOO LATE: GM can still help).
