of ailments and nursery Micaela de "The M Chronicles"
now questions the validity of homeopathy because its puppies are often sick, and fears of star feeding them too many medicines. I Homeopathy I do not mean much, but the only time I tried to give FiglioPig homeopathic remedies (eg syrup snail, Oscillococcinum, ...) I have found that they were quite useless, having to resort to the traditional end to drugs to solve the problem.
What emerges from the post of Micaela is discouragement and concern that I think sooner or later feel all parents who choose (perhaps because it forced by circumstances) to include children in the nursery soon. These same feelings I tried them because I too many times (and I know it's not over yet now that there's also the little one at home!) .... and do not tell you the tears I shed.
FiglioPig went to the nest early, he was 6 months, and health has been a tragedy: the first 2 years it has taken all bronchitis, intestinal flu, various exanthematous diseases, not to mention his atopic dermatitis who are infected and constantly had to always use the cortisone ... We were exhausted and demoralized (he was also admitted to the hospital 2 times and I swear that it was the hardest moments of my life) so I asked the pediatrician something to lift his immunity ... gave us the Oscillococcinum, a homeopathic remedy in fact. It is useless! but just nothing ...
Then, after yet another relapse to relapse, on the advice of the pediatrician for the last year of the nest, we decided to withdraw only for the winter months and then we did back in March. We then paid a Tata and I must say that we have finally seen FiglioPig feel good, get some 'weight (it was always skinny for all the ills that you took). We even managed to swim to do with him throughout the school year (will have missed 2 or 3 classes).
now goes to nursery school and from September to now has not been sick even once. If they had said two years ago, I would not have believed it. And by the way, since it goes well, he has also gone his hateful and atopic dermatitis FiglioPig resumed happily eat dairy products that had taken off because it seemed that worsen the dermatitis. What
then is the gist of this story? What I would say to Micaela, despite the talk about homeopathy? Simply that children should get the antibodies and to have them have become ill. Unfortunately, if they go to the nest and get sick so often and when it was just too much for us, we decided to recalibrate. The line of "too much" is obviously subjective, and we came after two hospital stays after a little time. It was not an easy decision at all, though! First because we did not know anyone who could deal with FiglioPig second, because as parents adored the nest and what community life was offering to FiglioPig (the many activities, creativity, songs, sociability, respect for rules, etc..) and third because at least I felt defeated and abnormal (because of course the other kids seemed to have an iron than my puppy). I must say that with hindsight we have just the right decision, because even then he came back in March and has not lost at all the advantages of the nest (made even his first trip to a farm outside the city!). .. There has only won in health (and us in peace!).
