What are the effective solutions for baby's airsickness?

Airsickness and motion sickness are common in life and can happen to people of all ages. For example, airsickness is something that parents should pay attention to for babies, because sometimes for various reasons, some babies need to take a plane when they are still young. At this time, you should pay attention to some coping methods and solutions if your baby becomes airsick.

1. Things to note when taking a plane

1. When the plane is descending, do not let your baby sleep. Wake him up to prevent the pressure change in the cabin from compressing the eardrum. You can feed your baby milk and water. During this period, the baby's crying is helpful to protect the eardrum.

2. Even if the plane loses pressure, babies have oxygen masks just like adults. After you sit down, the flight attendant will check whether there are enough oxygen masks above your head. If not, they will change your seat. Don't think it's troublesome, everything is for safety. When flying over water, infant life jackets will be distributed and the flight attendant will teach you how to use them, but under normal circumstances, do not open them or take them off the plane.

2. What should I do if my baby gets airsick?

1. A series of actions from takeoff to the turbulence, climb, descent, turn and landing during the flight may cause airsickness in babies. The baby's physical discomfort and fatigue before boarding the plane may also cause airsickness.

2. How to prevent motion sickness: To prevent your baby from motion sickness, parents must ensure that the baby is in good health and gets enough sleep the day before. You can also choose a seat for your baby in advance that is farther away from the engine and closer to the window, which can reduce noise and expand the field of vision. During the flight, you may want to do more things to distract your baby, such as talking to him, reading stories to him, listening to music, etc. Giving your baby warm water with vinegar before boarding the plane is also very effective in preventing airsickness!

3. What to do if your baby gets motion sickness: When your baby really shows symptoms of motion sickness, you can continue to do things to attract the baby's attention or guide the baby to look out the window. Place a cool, wet towel on the baby's forehead. Experienced mothers can also try pinching the baby's Neiguan point with their thumb (Neiguan point is on the palm side of the wrist joint, about two horizontal fingers and two tendons on the transverse wrist line), which can relieve the baby's motion sickness symptoms. If the reaction is too severe, seek medical attention from the crew immediately.
