Does anyone have any ideas for relieving Ellas carsickness? I have no experience with carsickness, but Ella has had 3 "episodes" of puking in the car. We've moved her to the middle seat so that she can see out the front window. But even today we were on the Hi-way and she got that green look and her eyes glazed over and she kept asking me to slow down and asking me to turn the music down(it was off). She didn't puke this time but i think she would have if we would have been on the road any longer.
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks

poor girl!
Is she big enough to have dramamine?

[erinellakal]

i don't know how old or big you have to be to take dramamin, but i don't really want to give it to her everytime we go grocery shopping or something, you know? I don't want her all drowsy at walmart! LoL
We will definetly get dramamin for our 24 hour ride to Florida in November though.

My nephew gets car sick. Sis turns on the AC or opens the window for some quick air circulation. Usually, that helps. But they do have to stop and take several breathers.

Talk to the Ped. They should have good pointers. (Especially for the Dramamine!)

I had a friend that got car sickness all the time, and he wore these bands around his wrists whenver he was in the car. The bands had balls on them that press into the underside of the wrist, where all the blood vessels are. I'm not sure how they worked or what they were called, but apparently they worked wonders! I've known a lot of pregnant women to use them, as well. You could try asking a worker at Walgreens if they know what they are!

these are what my aunt used for my cousin when we were growing up. whenever we went anywhere, he had them. i get car sick if we're up really early (anytime before 7am), the wristbands don't really help me but lifesavers wintergreen mints work. hth

My mom always gave my brother a ginger cookie to munch on. Don't know why it worked but it did.

Anything with real ginger in, apart from ginger beer being shook around with the burps doesn't feel so good.

CeJay gets carsick too... we drove to the beach, a 3 hours drive, and he threw up 3 times... it was horrible! He's okay in short drives, but longer ones, are a big no no... It seems as though if he has an empty stomach and he's being entertained, he's okay though. One sip of juice and it's all over!
