OK, we saw the pediatrician yesterday and this is what they said:
There is nothing we can do. She said babies/toddlers are too young for any kind of motion sickness medicine (Dramamine, etc). She even went away to check on possible options she would be unaware of and came back saying that nothing would be safe, so there's nothing medication wise we could give her. As far as symptoms and differentiating seasickness from something else she said to watch for:
1) abnormal fussiness
2) abnormal nausea
3) won't eat
4) abnormal tiredness - to avoid the sickness they will just go to sleep; the constant sick feeling/throwing up also makes them tired
She said the only thing you can do is to allow the baby to sleep. You can also give the baby 7-up. She said that even at only 9 months old we could give Lorelai 7-up to help settle her stomach. Beyond that, she said it is what it is. Hopefully Lorelai just won't get sick.
I don't know if that helps much for you (I don't remember the age of your baby/toddler), but that's what they told me yesterday. I hope it helps!
Nope, sorry. That's 1 of the reason I married my husband. I HATE sports so there was no way I was going to marry a sports fanatic!
lol, and I'm only partially kidding
Ryan's only sport-like vice isn't really even a sport. He's REALLY into Formula 1 racing. He pretty much hates all other kinds though, NASCAR, etc.
OK everyone - only 2 more days left to pack! Yikes!
It seems like I've had forever to do it, but it's REALLY hard getting things done with a 9 month old baby. She unpacks everything I pack. I think I've packed our bag 40 times already!!
Also - tonight is the night we find out what we can and can't do for upgrades. Ryan's going to look at our bank account
and budget
and what we have to spend on the ship
and what bills have to be paid before we leave
and then he'll determine IF we can ask about an upgrade at the terminal. lol, wish us luck!! If it doesn't work out maybe I'll corner Captain Hook and ask him where he burried his pirate gold - Arrr
