She starts crying before I even buckle her in so I know that it's not the straps digging into her or anything. Although I have adjusted the straps every which way possible. Funny because her older sis loved the car seat and car rides. This one just screams in the car. I think she has fallen asleep only once in the car. Aw man, I can't believe your LO still doesn't like the car, but at least she has learned how to sleep after the crying. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-drop-off-and-my-over-tired-baby#post-780231 Tue, 14 May 2013 10:10:45 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 780231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I feel your pain! The screaming is so stressful :-( DD still hates the car at 15 months. Once she was around 5 or 6 months, she finally started to fall asleep in the car after screaming for 5 min. Hopefully it turns around soon for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-drop-off-and-my-over-tired-baby#post-780103 Tue, 14 May 2013 09:35:28 +0000 Andrea 780103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmate: that is a good idea. We are new to the school, though, so I have to make some friends first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-drop-off-and-my-over-tired-baby#post-780093 Tue, 14 May 2013 09:32:00 +0000 mrsmate 780093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry your LO won't fall asleep in the car. Can your preschooler catch a ride with another family for a few months? By then your baby's schedule may change. And maybe you can handle pickup if that works for your schedule now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-drop-off-and-my-over-tired-baby#post-779833 Tue, 14 May 2013 08:15:35 +0000 Andrea 779833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh the screaming ......</p> <p>If my 4 month old wakes up early (before 7 am), then her 1st nap is long over due by the time we get back from dropping off her sister at preschool (around 9 am). She's always screaming her face off and I end up feeding her when we get home even though I know she's not necessarily hungry. It's too bad that she never falls asleep in the car seat or else she could start her nap earlier that way. </p> <p>There isn't enough time for a nap before school drop off. I could maybe let her sleep for 10-15 minutes but that is kind of pointless?</p> <p>All the screaming stresses me out! Has anyone else dealt with this? </p>
