Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I would spend a lot of time examing the diets of the moms and see where they are lacking proper nutrition. I would incorporate lots of dark greens, raw veggis and fruits, and for cooked foods I'd use Sally Fallon's work "Nourishing Traditions".

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Dear Starlene, Thanks for your words. So, do you think that babies don’t NEED to poop daily? In good health, a Amelong, CNC, CT www.optimalhealthnetwork.com www.colonichealth.com www.enemabag.com Optimal Health Center From: RawDairy [mailto:RawDairy ] On Behalf Of Starlene Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 12:01 PM To: RawDairy Subject: Re: A question a, are you sure it is really constipation? Because breastmilk is so perfectly utilized in the body, sometimes breastfed babies won't go poop for days on end and finally have one big poop. When I nursed mine, it was something we laughed about at La Leche League meetings, how we got to know which day to stay home or else we'd have exploded diapers while out. You probably know this, I just thought I'd ask to eliminate it. Starlene A question I am working with a number of parents whose breast fed babies are struggling with constipation. What recommendations do you all make for such situations?

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I had not heard this before. Thank you very much. Please keep sending these gems of wisdom all.

" She was only getting the " fore milk " because she was a snacker for nursing (would nurse for a minute or two and then stop) and I always switched sides each time I nursed. Then I read something about the lack of BM's in breast fed babies is sometimes because of not getting the hind milk. So, I started nursing on each side twice before switching. It worked...we had poopy diapers galore. Sorry for the graphic details. :-) This is probably something you've already addressed, but just in case... ~ A question I am working with a number of parents whose breast fed babies are struggling with constipation.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 a, Be aware of the constipating effects of vaccinations. Vaccinations themselves are another whole issue I'm sure, but one of their side effects can be constipation.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 We started with 2/day..and three eventually, which was much better. Give it with each dose of Valtrex, and GABA along with that as taking meds and beign sick creates alot of stress for out kids. Lthianine is also a good bet for the stress. GIve that one if you choose as well. Di > > how many times a day do I give difulcan? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I've read a ton on L-theanine. It helps produce alpha waves and calms the brain down, but it also tends to reduce serotonin. It lasts 8-10 hours which is nice, but then they crash and jump all over the house, and since they are low in serotonin, they are low in melatonin, and can't sleep. I took it with my 2 kids one day and we all had a hard time sleeping. It simply isn't worth it. I doubt L-theanine will ever go anywhere, it is definitely not the magic pill everyone thought it would be. cath If anyone has positive thoughts about Ltheanine please let me know!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I don't know...I have a 4 YO who hasn't tolerated most of the supplements. But I did grab my friends 8YO off the bus last spring and he was covered in hives--my invitation to push her away from the pediatrician I fired 3 years ago. We were polar opposites in terms of diet/supps/meds and finally got her to go to a DAN...this kid was up at 2am and crashing a 4pm (in the middle of ABA) and really hyper...nightmare for everyone especially the poor kid He started L-theanine after thanksgiving and he's a whole new kid--too bed at 9 and up at 7. It was bumpy thr first few weeks, but with some tweaking they got the dosing/times right. There's no magic bullet...just hope if you keep working it. Re: a question I've read a ton on L-theanine.
