How to prevent motion sickness in children

With the continuous improvement of people's spiritual life in modern society, more and more friends like to take their children out to travel in their spare time. However, many children will experience symptoms of motion sickness during travel, such as dizziness, loss of appetite, nausea and retching, etc. Therefore, it is very necessary for them to find some ways to prevent motion sickness. So how do children prevent motion sickness? In the next period of time, please join me in taking a look.

1. Choose to set off after the baby falls asleep.

Babies are less likely to get motion sickness when they are asleep because their eyes are closed and they don't receive any information. If your baby gets in the car before he falls asleep, he may feel uncomfortable once the car starts moving, and it will be even more impossible for him to fall asleep. If possible, you should try to get your baby to sleep before you set off, and then ride in the car with a sleeping baby. If conditions permit, you can also try to take the car when your baby is taking a nap or sleeping at night. In fact, some children fall asleep in the car.

2. Try not to let your baby eat too much before departure.

If your baby vomits due to motion sickness, give him some plain water. If the child is older, giving him some crackers may also help.

3. Keep the car cool and ventilated.

If you are travelling by coach this may not be easy to do. You can try bringing a small fan or fan and blowing it from time to time, which may also help. In addition, dress your baby according to the season and don't dress him too much.

4. Don’t let your baby play with toys or read books.

Toys or books can make your baby's motion sickness worse. Try to let your baby look at things far ahead, such as trees, cars, trucks, etc.

5. Prevent your baby from looking out from the side windows.

Place a sunshade on the window on your baby's side so he can look forward but still be protected from the sun.

6. Pay attention to the smell in the car.

If you are driving a private car, try to avoid any pungent smell in the car, do not smoke, and do not use strong-smelling perfume. Some car fresheners have a strong smell, so it is best not to use them. If you are taking a long-distance bus, try to choose a new and clean bus.

The above paragraphs have introduced us to some ways and methods to prevent children from motion sickness. I believe that friends who have read the above text carefully will have more insights and experiences in their hearts. But I still want to remind parents and friends that they should supplement their children's diet with more balanced nutrition and let them actively participate in outdoor sports.
