Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Just wanting to run this idea past you more experienced mamas here. Prior to scd we did a dose of motrin at bedtime and it helped dd sleep much better. But that has sugar in it so I quit that. DD is getting her 2 year molars so this is a rough time for her. This week I started using tylenol suppositories. That helps a lot but they wear off after about 4 hours and then she is up and down for the rest of the night (doing another one at that point would be impossible). I got some adult ibuprofen. It is just double the dose that dd should have for her weight. I'm thinking about cutting it in half and crushing it and putting it into food. My only hesitation is that it does have corn starch in it. But it is such a tiny bit. Do you think that will be better than asking her to deal with the pain? We do homeopathics durring the day but they just wear off too quickly to be much help at night and dd hates to take anything after she has been asleep so that really doesn't work then. I appreciate any insight. Patty almost 3 weeks scd w/ fam for celiacs, yeast, and no sleep at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Thanks, We have tried clove oil and it doesn't seem to help at all. As I said reapplying in the middle of the night isn't an option with this kid.
