We ran out of the dentist recommend ACT a few days ago. Today I asked L if he would try and new mouthwash. I gave him a few crystals of xylitol to taste. He approved. Then I gave him a teaspoon of coconut oil and xylitol and had him swirl it in his mouth. The plan was for 2 mins. He asked me if this was safe to swallow. With the ACT mouthwash I had told him repeatedly - no not swallow - this is poison .. uugg ..
So, today he asked me worriedly if he could swallow this? And i said, yes, this is fine if you swallow by accident. Remember that we are spitting it into the trash can and not into the sink.
So, he and I sat on the edge of the bathtub ... my little boy and I .. and I held him and kissed him as he swished the coconut oil and I sent good thoughts and the force to his little teeth ... willing them to heal ...
Then I forgot to check the time as he was playing with some beads which fell down and while he and I were picking them up, 3-4 minutes elapsed.
I will try next to add clove oil or goldenseal to it as that is supposed to keep abscesses from forming.
Today we did not have as much success with the liver/beef cakes. He had one but I had to push it.
I will get him a probiotic tomorrow as I feel that he is a little constipated.
On another note, I found sprouted lentil pasta and bought a pack. Lets see how it goes ...
