Sounds to me like the baby was traumatised (and the mother too probably!).
It seems like the first priority is to deal with the crisis situation and
help both mother and child. For the baby, I know that cranial sacral therapy
can be very helpful with early trauma, particularly birth trauma. It may
help the mother, (and thereby the child too indirectly) to set up herself,
the trauma and the baby as a constellation and look at the possibility of
repetitive trauma in her own life.
The other approach which I know less well but have heard good reports about,
is the energy work of Fred Gallo. Maybe others can provide more information
on that. Franz Ruppert has also done a lot of work with trauma and has a
book which is about to be published in English. Vivian Broughton of
Constellation Work Trainings in the UK would be the contact person if you
are interested in that.
Good luck!

Hi Friends
I would appreciate some advice. I have a client who is breastfeeding an 18
months old baby. This baby had a virus when he was two weeks old and was
send to the hospital for three or four days. The mother was also in the
hospital. He had a spinal tap there and several times a day they took blood.
At nigjht, this baby cries a lot and cannot sleep unless is with mother in
the bed and breastfeeding.
Any advice?
Thanks, Cristina
