Motion Sickness: 8 Ways to Make It History.

Bleah! We’ve all been there, done that. Here are 8 ways to keep your kids’ tummy contents where they belong:

1 Don’t read in the car.

This is especially on winding roads.

2 Open a window and let a little fresh air in.

Fresh air does a big - and little - body prone to becoming carsick good.

3 Avoid heavy meals right before departure.

If there's a history of carsickness, keep meals light and simple to help the uneasy stomach keep its contents within.

4 Pack ginger ale for sipping and crackers for nibbling.

These on the road stomach settlers can save the day (or night) not to mention your car's interior.

5 Have a wet, cold cloth ready.

If a child is feeling motion sick, this cool comforter can be put over her face to calm her system down.

6 Travel with an ice scraper.

These are great for scooping up chunks (I know, ick, but if it happens, parents have to be prepared for quick and and easy on-the-road clean-ups.) Also pack bags plastic trash bags and wet wipes for quick surface cleaning.

7 Have a change of clothes for the car-sick prone child handy.

If it happens, be ready to remove clothes along with the mess. Keep the clothes in an extra garbage bag, and provide a change of clothes for the car-sick kid.

8 Ask the pediatrician about giving him or her a safe medication for kids that contains Hyoscine.

If OK, medicate before the trip begins. It doesn’t start working immediately.
