I'm not sure if small size has anything to do with it. Romeo is about 5 lbs.
Also he throws up a lot less in my 4-dr luxury car than my husband's Mustang, which is also a stick shift. I've noticed if the ride is smooth, he'll do okay, but a bumpy ride where the gears are shifting or there are bumps in the road he definitely gets sick!!
I've also gotten the advice of not feeding them right before they leave. So there should atleast be an hour between the last time they eat and the car ride.
From my experience, make the ride as smooth as possible (sometimes my dh makes fun of me for driving so slow, but it goes a long way if my baby doesn't throw up!!) with not too sudden accelerating and/or braking.
I hope this helps, good luck to you. Keep us updated. |
I was thinking it was the motion from the car too as we have a van. But I have tried holding him too and it doesn't help. I have to drive and my DH held him. That didn't work either. Oh well. I will try the ginger snaps.
