    car sick baby?

    My DD is 4 months old and hates the car As soon as I put her in she starts to scream! If she is asleep sometimes she will stay asleep but most of the time she will wake up and scream! She has been diagnosed with reflux but a lot of people say babies with reflux like the car so do you think she is getting car sick? Most of the time if I pull over and get her out she will either burp or vomit but then when I put her back in she will start to cry again. She really cries and ends up really hot and upset
    Has any one else experienced this? How do I stop her from crying so much?
    Any help would be awesome!
    Thanks

    we have a car sick child..
    only solution we found was dont drive

    she will spew if we drive any longer than 40 min or if its hot in the car. her car seat may be affecting the reflux, like the angle she is sitting at and she is crying from indegestion pains like heartburn

    I had this problem with my DS. I dreaded having to drive anywhere! As soon as he was old enough we turned his seat around to face the front and - problem solved!! Haven't had any issues since.
