My 15 month old little boy gets motion sickness and does not enjoy car journeys. Journey time does not seem to make a difference as he can be sick right at the beginning or the end of a trip. Any tips from all the experienced Mums & Dads out there that could save our bacon (and clothes) when we go skiing in 10 days and have to tackle a flight and a 2 hour transfer up the mountain in a coach (already feeling a little green myself at the thought...).

I've used Travella homeopathic travel pills - we got them at Health Matters. My daughter gets travel sick between here and Old Kent Road and they got us all the way to Devon and back. They can simply be crunched up in their mouths so not too hard to take.


Can't say how they work but they do for us!

My two daughters are both hideously carsick. We put up with it until the eldest was 3 and then started giving her joyrides which have always worked thank goodness. With our youngest I went to see our GP when she was about 20 months old as she was being sick every time we got in a car (which luckily isn't that often as we don't drive in London, only when we're going away for weekends etc) and he prescribed Phenergan. They are supposed to be 2 when they take it but he let her have it as a one off at 22 months as we had a very long car journey to deal with. They take it the night before and then you can repeat the dose the following morning. She's now about to turn 3 and its been 100% successful so far.


Hope you find something that works for you as I know only too well how unpleasant it is. You are very brave to be tackling that mountain coach ride!!!

A friend of mine has twins and one has always suffered really badly from car sickness. She went to a homeopath and hasn't had a problem since. Have to say I use homeopathy on my 2.5 year old for everything from constipation to head colds and have had great results.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
