ivftwins,

i started driving with bb since #1 was a bb. now with #2 i drive with both of them.

sometimes my #2 will cry, no choice just let her cry lor. but i will talk to her, sing to her, reassure her etc etc....doesn't always work but i can't give in.



when hb drives, i sit in the front, i dun sit at the back with bb. and i NEVER take her out of the seat even if she cries. bb will learn tat if they cry, somebody will come and take them out.

of cos i will identify the cry. if hungry or incomfortable i will actually stop the car to settle her then continue on. if it's simply dun want to be alone or in the car seat then i keep going.



u can try putting on some nursery rhyme cds for bb to listen, or sing/talk to bb so bb can still hear yr voice. or get some toys to hang at the car seat to let bb see and get distracted

 

[ivftwins]

Grumpus. It's almost nerve breaking when my ds cry till his face is red n look like he is not catching breathe at all leh. I hv no choice but to stop at a bus stop bring him out n calm him down before continuing again. Quite terrible.

 

[grumpus]

Ivftwins,

Just hang on another 6mths then bb can switch to forward facing car seat. It's usually better cos they get to sit upright, face forward n can see things.

ivftwins,



ya lor .. bo pian. I also drive everyday w my bb. and for sure ONE of the trips she will cry cos she doesn't want to sit in there any longer or she's hungry or cranky. What to do? .. I'm used to it. I can drive with a baby screaming and the music blasting aldy. I try to give her teethers and such to hopefully distract her. On weekends when my husband is the one driving, he doesn't like to hear babies screaming when he's driving (lol) so I take her out when she cries. Of course, it's not the safest thing to do lar. Most times, I try to get her to sleep or nurse her beforehand so I can dump her in there and strap her in before he drives off. So try to minimize taking her out when the car is moving.



Grumpus is right .. when can switch bb to the forward facing car seat, they'll be better. Right now, the infant one is a pain.

Aiyo! Drive alone w BB? I tried only once. Gotta keep talking to her. Play w her. Make faces to her.... Sooooo tiring!



Hubby drive alone w her once, she cry n scream till it's like end of the world!



I drove n my brother carry her, she also scream n cry till forgot to breath! I gotta stop at petrol kiosk to hug her.



Terrible ah! Who ask me to spoil her already

Each time she cry in her car seat, I'll carry her out. :-/ spoilt Liao [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 

[ivftwins]

aiyo...very jia lat i tell you....cos I do not live near my parents so when I go to my parents place its almost taking a gamble. Do not know if after 6 months they will get better or not. But I am prepared to ignore them when they reach 1 year. Cos they can understand us and possibly tell us what's wrong with sitting in car. If they are not uncomfortable and cry, i am prepared to ignore. At 6months (for mine), i still cannot ignore....

 

[grumpus]

Eh, sorry ah. one yr old still cannot tell u wat's wrong yet hor.



and i meant tahan ANOTHER 6 mths, meaning until bb is one. not tahan until bb is 6mths
