Quinn was the same way in her car seat. She just despised it and nothing we did made her less miserable in her car seat...toys, attention, more a/c, less a/c, music, no music....so we actually were given a really nice car seat from a friend of ours. It's not the prettiest car seat, it's it doesn't have the cute decorations or fabric that I like, but it looks brand new and that child really seems to like it. I have since put her in her old car seat and she just fusses. She just doesn't like her old car seat, the one that's actually cuter![]()
So, the only thing that worked for us was to get her into a new car seat. The new car seat sits up a little more and it's actually a safer carseat, she's strapped in better and it's more confining, but for some reason she likes it much more and only fusses if she's hungry. She's also a very active little one and isn't fond of being confined anywhere. Weird that changing her car seats worked so well.
As far as tips, the only thing I can suggest (since I'm still learning myself) is putting a cloth diaper, the plain pre-folded white ones that you buy in a pack, on her Boppy as I nurse her....I put it under her on the side she happens to be nursing on. Not only can I wipe her face after words without getting any milk on the Boppy, but it also reminds me which side I last nursed her on so I can nurse her on the opposite side next time I feed her. I only have one cover for my Boppy, so it's kind of a pain when I need to wash my only cover, so it saves on having to always change the cover on my Boppy.
