I have to take anti sickness tablets and they do advise against breastfeeding whilst taking them. I wonder if kids Joyrides would be ok? My LO has needed them for since she was small.

You could try the wrist bands, I bought some from Boots. They work on the pressure points to relieve nausea/sickness. I had fantastic results using them on a 9 hr ferry crossing - I wasn't affected by sickness or even 'sea legs' once I'd put them on.
