Re: Night time dose, hving difficult time

[Guest guest]

I used to have real trouble with my son, because he was refusing to take his

night-time doses. He was spitting them out, crying, hitting, ect. I felt like I

was abusing him.

My son was nearly 5 at this time. It was before I even had the hairtest done.

When the hairtest came back and I realized, that he was really very toxic and

that I had to get the stuff out, something changed in my mind (not in him). I

knew that he was going to take his night time doses.

I woke him up, took him out of his bed into a different room and told him he was

not going to go back to sleep until he had taken his ALA.

Now he still doesn't like to take it, but I didn't have to take him out of his

bed for some time anymore. I now use his toy animals to talk to him. I make them

squabble between them, which of them was going to be allowed to give my son his

ALA. After a while he starts to feel sorry for one of his animals and agrees to

have his ALA.

I wrote this about 2 years ago. Now my son hardly wakes when I give him his

night time doses.

[ ] Night time dose, hving difficult time

At night, i tried mixing honey water and ala, my child spit out the

whole thing, i used an oral syringe, he cannot do anything which

requires swallowing.

If i mix in jam, and put in his mouth, it gets on the teeth, and

mostly is in his mouth in the morning, what i should do?

I asume he can swallow in the daytime?? If so, you just have to get him to

wake up enough to realize he has to swallow...For my son, the first

night-time dose is the hardest. He is in such a deep sleep, I really have to

work to get him awake enough to cooperate. But, he goes right back to sleep

afterwards. In the beginning I mixed it with applesauce, then gave hime

water through a straw to wash it down. There was a learning curve...so it

took a few weeks but it does get better. Now I remind him before he goes to

bed, on those nights, that I will be waking him up for medicine.

My 6 yo son is a tough customer for the night-time doses as well. The

first one of the night especially was always a long fight, with

spitting out, etc. What I do now is put the night-time doses in very

small capsules, and if he's sleeping with his mouth open I just shove

it in and watch until he swallows. If his mouth is closed, I put my

finger between his lips and pull a gap in his cheek and slip the

capsule in. This has worked out *much better....

When I have to get my kids to open their mouths, I hold their nose so

they have to open their mouths to breathe. Just thought I'd chime

in.
