My seven week old daughter seems to hate the car. When we ride in the van together, she copes, or seems to be content because I sit in the seat next to her. But during the week, when my husband and sons are at school/work and its just she and I in the car, she will scream non-stop from the beginning to the end of the trip. Because of this, I rarely leave the house during the week. We live in the country, so it's a 20 minute drive to the store, or to visit family/friends. When we do leave the house, I have to stop the car at least once during the drive to calm her down. She screams to the point that she's sweaty, sounds like she's choking, and I can't cope with the crying. I pull over in a parking lot or something, take her out of her carseat and hold her until she calms down, most of the time we nurse until she falls asleep....
I don't believe that you can spoil a baby that is so young. I believe that she needs to know I am there.
Short of never leaving the house, any advice
