Any way to get Ignatia to poor mum?

Encourage dad and partner to starting taking the baby to playgroups--meet other kids and parents! Best place for picking up tips.

Confusion - Baby's dad is on his own. Baby's mum has been committed - don't know for how long and even then if she will be allowed to take charge of baby. They don't live in my town. Dad and baby have come to my town to stay with his Father. It is his father's partner who called me in!! I believe they are going home on Monday as dad has found a female cousin who will look after baby but Dad and baby will be coming back regularly to stay with his Father(baby's grandfather and partner) for weekends I understand. Mum IMO will need parenting skills as she never puts baby down and baby is running their lives.
I have taught dad to ignore the crying/screaming when she is put down in her chair and give her attention when she is quiet. In the short time I was there this new "rules" were sinking in with this lovely child. When child was put for a nap (she was falling asleep after her lunch ) in her cot I made sure that the cot was taken to the room dad was trying to work in so baby knew she hadn't been abandoned. I think baby had the first proper meal all week when I was there as when madam decided she didn't want any more organic baby meat and veg meal but she polished off the lot when it was given with a bit of banana on the tip of the spoon. I then gave baby 1/2 banana to hold and eat. I suggest giving baby a carrot stick to chew between meals as she is teething. They had no idea about food and all the baby had been given for breakfast was a bottle of formula!! I suggested porridge tomorrow and baby could eat chicken and pasta which they were going to have for tea tonight if it is put in the blender, although come to think of it she does have teeth but wasn't that happy about the bits in the baby food jar. I also suggested baby could have a bottle at bedtime. I hope this cousin has baby experience!! It's a long time since mine were small!!!
I couldn't believe the medicines this baby was being given by mum!! Some were from Mum's native country and were lots of nasal sprays, laxatives, sugar free calpol etc!! We have thrown the lot out except the Vitamin drops. The baby is very healthy but had pneumonia and was hospitalised last month. Dad thinks baby was susceptible because of the aseptic conditions mum imposed which he quite rightly doesn't approve of and hasn't continued with since mum left home.

Bit hard to follow this, reads like a soap opera but if this baby truly needs Ignatia then 'training' to leave it when it cries is the last thing you want to do imo - the baby needs unconditional love and attention, lots of hugs and reassurance not rules vis a parent else it will end up needing Nat mur later or sooner in life - best not to go there surely, babies do and should rule your life in the nicest possible way.

Joy I can assure you that this child has been over smothered and has become demanding. No way is she Nat Mur!! She is demanding to be in someone's arms at all time because this is what she has had up to now with her mother. She needs space to be able to develop on her own. I was shocked that although she could hold the piece of banana to her mouth (maybe the first time - I don't know) she appeared not to know how to hold her drink container which she should have mastered but this age. As long as she can see that she has company - i.e. her father hasn't abandoned her I think it is OK for her to be out of his arms. If he communicates with her as I was showing them how to do when she is not crying - she will soon get the message that she will get attention when she doesn't cry and will be ignored when she does (as long as she is obviously not hungry, thirsty , in pain or needing her nappy changed). When in her high chair she was "chatting" away to me in baby talk. She is a delight. The crying is sooo false . You can tell.

Sheri - This child has been smothered. No one can now get on with their lives. Coping mechanisms have to be put into place. I have explained that the child needs to be able to see dad at all times. Luckily dad can work from home a lot of the time.The full circumstances of what has happened in the last couple of weeks are too personal to write on this site but I am sure that the temporary household this weekend will have a happier child who is being fed adequately and getting the sleep she needs. I am sure the Ignatia will do a lot of good work.

Oh please - and I said she will be Nat mur in the future if she is trained in this way (stiff upper lip and all that) - can't bear to read this - false crying, so the baby has learned manipulation already? But this isn't homeopathy it is social parenting.

Baby ate large evening meal and slept very well. This morning the Ignatia has brought out sticky eyes (being treated with Euphrasia tincture) and snotty nose which I have said to leave alone. Mum used to use Nasal sprays as we found them in the medicine drawer Dad brought with. Baby seemed very happy and not crying this morning at all. maybe the Ignatia has kicked in. They didn't have anything for baby for breakfast except a bottle of milk so I suggested toast fingers and maybe scrambled egg until they went shopping for porridge and weetabix which I reckon is OK.
It's a long time since I had a baby that age and they haven't clue so is there anyone out there can suggest suitable food for a 1 yr old and how much milk they should be having as my ideas of anything the family eats within reason ( cooked without salt) and cut down on the formula milk may be way out of touch!!!
