Crying in car

Full disclaimer: not an expert here but just an idea, but do you think your LO might be car sick? It’s not common among babies that young, but I spent a lot of time with a baby who hated the car and was often sick on longer journeys and only anti sickness medications helped!

My baby was exactly the same and stayed that way until he was much older! A few things that helped a bit:

- a mirror over the headrest so he could see what’s going on around him
- adjusting the car seat - maybe it’s uncomfortable / on a too small setting? Maybe baby would prefer one that reclines fully if yours doesn’t?
- playing music

Unfortunately those things only helped a little! It’s soo stressful driving with a screaming baby 😣

My baby was the same, we realised that if someone is with him behind and jingles the house keys he can be entertained enough to stop crying. We've just bought a sea dreams soother to see if it might help too 😋

I would post in bump to booster to see if someone can offer fit check advice. It might be the fit of the car seat causing discomfort x
