Inconsolable in the car

[MayBabyMum]

Our 2 month old has just recently become really unsettled when in the car. We have monitored their temperature, made sure they are comfortable, tried giving them a toy thing to look at, played white noise, nursery rhymes etc but it doesn't seem to matter what we do they will be completely inconsolable. To the point they will scream and get all hot and bothered. We think it may be a seperation thing. Unfortunately the car isn't big enough for one of us to sit with her as we have 2 car seats in the back. Does anyone have any suggestions of what we can do to make car journeys better for her?

My DS hated his car seat until he was big enough for the newborn insert to come out. Then he settled and now happily looks out the window.

A.P.T played on repeat was the only thing that stopped him screaming the car down.

My DS was always like this and it turns out he has severe travel sickness. No advice we had to just limit all car journeys. He projectile vomits after 20mins. Just a word of warning, make sure you have one of those mirrors so you can see him while rear facing, my DS was vomiting and silent choking and we didn't realise. Scariest moment of my life. Hope it's just a touch of separation anxiety for you, maybe offer him a special comforter to use. Also a dummy x

Not helpful given the circumstances with the other car seat but my DD was like this, to the point where I would take her in the pram on a bus and I HATE the bus!! The only thing that helped her was me being in the back with her. I’m fairly certain we were out of that phase by 5-6 months old x
