Let me catch up on comments in this forum instead of answering at each post. I got behind.
Lis - I have NOT tried any homeopathic teething tricks. Care to share? As for the ears....many times they can kick those without anti-biotics and the docs most often let you choose if you want the drugs...since she isn't in any major discomfort except for being fussy during BED TIME HOURS....I've been content to wait and see what happens when the teeth pop through. I suppose I should buy some orajel but that stuff tastes so nasty that none of the other 8 have ever used it.
Jodi - yes all our pets have first, middle and last names. Even the quail. I've not let them know the grackles that fell out of the tree because I think they are very sad. The apologia science books are really written for upper elementary kids I would think. I've not READ that but I know that my 5th/6th grader has loved them. If I weren't editing on the fly, I think they'd be a bit to old for my 1st and 2nd grader....but I plan to have them cycle through them again in 4th/5th grade and we'll do more of the projects then and they'll grasp even more. I've been surprised at what they do remember. Rascal will need to eventually go off to a new home...that is what we are thinking. We were to keep him 6 weeks to give him a good start and wow has he grown. I'm not sure we'll be able to say goodbye to him when the time comes.
Kelly - I'm also surprised that such a little thing like "food" has such a big affect on Zander. It's bizarre but we are really becoming believers...we've been logging it for 3 months now. I'll get a picture of roller coaster hill for you - it really isn't near as impressive as it sounds. :::snort::: That Doug.....you keep showing him the darling pictures and don't let him read about the sleepless nights. {g} Yes, Kelly, he's adorable and I need to remember that during the bad days. There's a reason for all the diligence. He DOES try to do all that his big brothers do...and living up to the expectations and reputations of 4 of them is a big job for a little guy.
Renee - I never had to worry about forgotten bottles and sippy cups when the kids all solely nursed.

Hi De'Etta,
Hope you got sleep last night. I always used a homeopathic Boiron teething remedy. It is a combination of several remedies. I always got mine at the health food store as those are the only places here in NY that carry any selection of homeopathic remedies. They will either come in super quick disssolving tablet or little ampules, like the contact lens stuff, where you just rip off the top and squirt the liquid - which looks and tastes just like water - into the mouth. Stacia will never know!! Only give the remedy when needed, not like an ongoing antibiotic. And the remedies work so quickly. I treated my son for mumps one day and within a couple of minutes - no exaggeration - he was pain free.
Homeopathic remedies are so very safe, no side effects. Because they work based on infinitesmal doses of the substances, they stimulate the body to produces changes, or healing. They work based on repeated doses, for instance 3 times a day for several days. The way you would get a side effect is to take something every day for a prolonged period of time - like weeks.
Feel free to ask me any other questions you have about it.
