How
can I stop her crying when I put her in her car seat?
I have tried
everything to get my 4-month-old to like her car seat but she still
cries when I put her in the car. We have a long drive to the in-laws
coming up in a couple months and I'm wondering what I can do to prepare
her.
Some kids love the car and some definitely do not. Most kids who don't
like it in babyhood do outgrow it. There are several reasons that
kids might be unhappy in the car. Some feel motion sickness, which
comes from a conflict between different signals our bodies get about
motion. Trying to make the signals consistent helps. An open window
will sometimes make a big difference, so the sensation of moving is
matched with the moving air.
Some kids don't
like the car because they don't like separation, so having someone
sit beside them can help. You can also try putting some fun toys in
the car for them to reach toward or watch. Songs to listen to might
also help.
Another cause
may be discomfort from the car seat, making it harder to breathe or
causing the baby heartburn. Try borrowing a friend's car seat to see
if your baby reacts any better to it.
