A while back i posted about my 15mo old and though some prescriptions were tossed about nothing was officially decided on so I'd like to get everyone's advice again, if possible.

15mo old, on the small side for height and weight, large head. She hates to ride in the car and I have been noticing she also dislikes to sit in her highchair. She doesn't lay still to have her diaper changed or to get dressed, so this would all p0robably be dislikes to be restrained.

She does not have a big appetite at all and would prefer to just drink her bottle than eat.

Very slow dentition, takes forever for her teeth to fully come in, she has been cutting her molars for months now.

Gets whiny but doesn't full out cry very often.

Is very ticklish, I can barely wipe her when I change her diaper because her privates are so sensitive, she laughs and holds her legs together. Also very ticklish around neck.

She is gentle and likes to hug and kiss her stuffed animals, and her little neighbor friend. She is not at all aggressive or hyper. Likes to dance. Likes to go in water. Is afraid of real animals, dogs, but we have a large loud dog next door who scared her once. Likes fruit.

She had RSV at 4mo and was put on a nebulizer and had 2 ear infections early on but since treating colds homeopathically she has not had an ear infection. Pullsatilla often works well for her acutes.

What I'd really like help with is the whining in the car, it is driving me bonkers. Also I feel bad with the slow teething. Poor thing.

I think calc phos was suggestionalong with some other remedies, any advice is welcome.

It's a very close call between Calc Phos and Silica. I would try Silica 200 because of the Pulsatilla acutes and love of dancing.

Hiya

Also, if there is a family hx of cancer, diabetes, etc., might like to take a look at Carc. possibly?

What about plain old Calc Carb??

Hi there Barb,
Not homeopathic - but to make car journeys more bearable for my 2 year old who gets bored is to play childrens sing-along cassettes in the car - drives me absolutely barmy but he likes to do the actions to wheels on the bus and other nursery rhymes -
Ps music that he is familiar with works better than new stuff
Hope it helps
Best wishes

Sorry! Just looked at what you wanted help with! The car-whining ...so, would look at Theridon, as it covers her other stuff too, restlessness, love to dance, etc.

Any help?

I haven't given baby anything yet - we've had a few acutes and whatnot to deal with.

She has a pretty bad rash on her bottom. It started after I took Thuja, still nursing 1X/day, so don't know if it is related. It faded for a bit but has now come back pretty back. She also has very dry skin on her legs and face with little circular rashy patches. The diaper rash is very red with many pinprick open areas and pinprick bleeding spots - hurts to wipe her. The severe part of the rash extends past the diaper area onto upper, underside of thighs - but this area is not as angry. Still red but mostly dry and bumpy.

ANY ADVICE IS WELCOME.

I have been letting her run around with diaper off. I only wipe her when her diaper has been soiled. Also she has been eating a lot more fruit than before, loves strawberries and melons. Would hate to cut this out of diet because she is not a good eater.

Hope everyone is having a nice day.

Hi Barb,

Has Calc carb been tried? Its a chronic to Pulsatilla's acute, and it does fit the complaints--slow dentition, whining in complaint, large head, rashes (esp. of they are of the yeasty-fungal variety).

Divina

Her large head gives Calc and Silica, with Calc Phos also a possibility in my opinion. But Calc is not ticklish, whereas Calc Phos and Silica are ticklish. Neither of the Calcs are listed for liking to dance. All points to Silica in my opinion. The description seems more delicate than of a typical lump of a Calc baby

Barb, the current symptoms of bleeding dry rash in patches with desire for juicy fruit points to Arsenicum. That would fit also the stomach upset that you mentioned recently in a different thread. Also Ars follows Thuja nicely and precedes Silica, so I think Ars 200 single dose would be good now for her.
