Dear Cristina
Some things that come to my mind when I read your post is:
Include the father!
The parents must have been very worried, maybe it helps if you help them
realise (and celebrate) that it went well in the end, the baby is still
alive, he survived. For the both parents to realise this in every cell of
their body and doing this together and verbalising this to each other is
essential for the child to realise this in every cell too. Then it can be
over for the boy.
A very good -though not systemic- remedy is rescue remedy from the Bach
flower remedies. No parent should ever leave the house without it! Very easy
to apply and works immediately. I would suggest both parents and the child
to take it for as long as it is needed.
Obvious systemic ideas are: imagine the four grandparents behind the parents
when they bring the boy to bed.
Anything that strengthens the mother will do.
The boy is right, he needs his mother to heal from the trauma of being ill
and in hospital and the treatments. He needs his mothers milk to recover
from being ill and to deal with the infection.
Any medical condition is beyond my capacity, but I think that part will be
taken care of well by the doctors. But from my experience as a physical
therapist and cranial-sacral therapist (a form of osteopathy) I can imagine
the boy could benefit from a cranial treatment, especially because he had a
spinal tap. The pressure in the fluids of the spine and the brain can be out
of harmony and this causes great problems, especially when the body is
resting, like in bed, because then the muscles don't help the circulation
anymore. Drinking is then a good way to stimulate the rhythm in the cranium.
I hope this makes sense for the family and I wish them all the best.
With love

Onderwerp: [ConstellationTalk] baby sleep advice
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
