Frustration 🫤

Not sure if you are doing this already but we started w very short 7 mins trips and always did it from when bubs was 6 weeks to some appoinments, we made sure bubs had a full tummy and with a clean nappy, he used to fall asleep in the car seat. We increased the trips slowly, we sang together ( he loves the happy song) he does use a dummy so that helped soothing whilst in the car. With the pram you can try for bubs to get more used to it by making it a positve thing, try having the pram at home and feeding some meals in it (try fav food first), a rusk may be something to keep bubs entertained for a bit and again do it for a few minutes at a time. I hope it helps
@Kelsey never considered a mirror that is a great idea thank you!! 😊
@Carolina the idea about meal time at home in the stroller is so smart !! Thank you so much
My daughter was like this I found once I turned her stroller around and she could see out instead of facing me she was a lot happier
She is facing out
Hi! My daughter was like this and honestly still is at 18mo’s😥 I’ve tried everything you can imagine, including buying several different styles of prams. Nothing worked. Snacks and toys temporarily helped, but she just doesn’t like being shut in somewhere. I wish I’d accepted this in the beginning, it would have saved me alot of stress!
I mostly avoid the pram where possible, I try to go out and do what i need to do with her in the pram when it’s nap time because she’s too tired to throw a fit 🥱
I also tried printing out a picture of my face and taping it in the car where my kid could see. It worked pretty well for a while.
Snacks? Favorite music? Does she have a mirror you can see her/she can see you? All things that helped us
