car sick remedies any one?

[widdly]

DS has just suddenly started getting car sick. He power chucked all through XH precious car last week. and even just driving around town now, he will get all hot and pale and say, dont go on bumpys mum, im gonna spill.

I am moving to Mildura on the weekend which is a 6 hour drive away. Any tips for keeping my car spew free?

No dairy before car trips! So no milk at least 3-4 hours before you drive. No bananas either! Both of these are BAD for car sickness (I know this from experience).

We give DD1 some Bundaberg ginger ale about half an hour before we go on a long trip as it has real ginger in it which helps prevent nausea. I also get car sick and this helps me too.

Sorry - have to laugh that your DS power chucked in XH's precious car Maybe he was making a statement

DD does this

we found sitting her in teh middle has helped.
no car belly explosions since we did this.

also we avoid her morning bottle she still has weet bix with small amount of milk.
and we give her water instead for her drink.

we have a 6 hour drive ahead of us on friday aswell so hope we have kinda solved the issue.


i might try the bundaberg ginger ale aswell

Get him to chew on something - Dad used to give me Fruit Kool Mints ....chewing was the only thing that stopped me hurling ....

My stepmum gives my little brother Ginger to chew on before they leave (eww i know) ginger ale works aswell and i believe the ginger biscuits work, i'm pretty sure you can get ginger tablets from the chemist aswell but depends on the age.

Hope you have a good trip without any sickness.

when I was little fruit tingles was the only thing that helped me. Poor thing- travel sickness is horrible.

Maybe you could get some car sickness bands from the chemist, they have "studs" that sit on your pressure points on your wrist, I have some & they work for me.

I second the Bundaberg ginger ale

Watercrackers to nibble on on the way

When I was a kid I used to get really car sick when I was reading & was told to look out the windows. Apparently people who are sitting in the front are less likely to get car sick because the are looking where they are going
