can crying infant cause choking?
wrote in message
ups.com... We've had the remote control lighted mirror since he was a few weeks old. It does not help when he gets into his fits. We have (and tried) everything. Mirror, mobile, Britax, window down, someone sitting with him. Nothing helps. He doesn't always cry, but once he starts he can't stop, and the crying turns into screaming, gurgling, gagging, etc. Can you not sit beside the car seat and nurse him while someone else drives? (I know you can't always be with another adult in the car) There are lots of babies who scream in the car and I know it's hell! We live 20 minutes from town, and I just didn't go much when my screamer was still at the screaming age. When we did, I sat beside her and nursed her. It's more comfortable/easy in some cars than others! But after the day she started choking and gagging and we had to pull over and get her out, well I just didn't want her to go through that anymore. Two of my three babies were car screamers, but the first one wasn't so bad that she choked and gagged like that. Marie |

... Sounds like my DD. I'm kind of glad to know she's not the only one, since we get so many comments about how strange it is for a baby not to like the car. I was almost starting to think there was something wrong with her... Hunter was like that too. It got a little better when we could turn him around about at around 18mos he was 90% better and would even fall asleep in the car. There is hope :-) -- Nikki, mama to Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Brock 4/06 Ben 4/06 |
