Baby restless sleep



Calc carb or aconite didn’t work. Her sleep continued to be the same. I’m thinking maybe she is either pulsatilla or aconite (a different potency perhaps?), and i can’t decide. I’ll tell you a bit more about her. During my first month of pregnancy (probably only 2-3 weeks preg), I had a fall. Tripped and fell face down, my whole body fell and my stomach faced the ground. Luckily, and thank goodness, baby is alright and everything went fine the rest of the pregnancy. But could this be categorized as a “trauma”? During delivery everything was fine, except that it was a back labor and she was a posterior baby. I took pulsatilla, (maybe not the right potency) but only turned her to the side, not completely. Anyway, my midwife manually turned her with her hands while pushing. The pushing phase was about 45 min long- fast delivery.

Her character- always been quiet in my arms. Cries with everyone else. Not colicky, but extremely afraid of strangers and new surroundings. Will not go to anyone if we’re outside the home, not even to her dad. At home, she is extremely content to crawl about, as long as I’m sitting in the same seat and not moving. The second I get up, and move, she starts crying and wants to be picked up. Very clingy to me. Startles at loud sounds, cries and gets scared. If an incident happens, such as the case in the bathtub, she gets scared and refuses to play again in the tub, until the next day when she’s forgotten the episode. Even grocery shopping, she will not sit in the cart, wants me to carry her, and only me. Again, scared of strangers, of new surroundings, and will not even find comfort with people she knows in a new environment. She’s a small baby, eats little, drinks little milk. Easily distracted. I I breastfeed her, on demand, and have good flow, but she only “finishes both breasts” at night. At home, she is the happiest.

Any other suggestions? I’ve read in another forum a similar situation with an 8th month old not sleeping well… and the suggestion was coffea 200. I been trying coffea 30 because i don’t have the 200 and it’s easter weekend so everything is shut. But i’d like something for her constitution, especially the clinginess and fear part.

Thanks again :)
