When I was breast feeding I obviously didn't want to take anything that might get into my milk!! so I tried some homeopathic travel sickness tablets from boots and they were amazing...you have to take them every hr or so ( sorry cant be more specific but this was 9 years ago !) and I could definitely feel when the hr was ending, and so feel they did work. This was on Roscoff to Plymouth crossing so 6 hrs...a long time to just "put up" with it!!!

These may well be Travella, which you can buy from boots. I too would recommend them. On a very very rough crossing back from Holland we were about the only two on the boat not green! Sitting next to us was a Dutch lady with a small girl, who looked very ill. Her mother asked 'What have you taken, you seem to be managing very well' so we said a homoeopathic remedy, and showed her. She asked if she could give her daughter some, so we gave her a packet. Fifteen minutes later the little girl was pink again, and asking her mother for some breakfast! Then mum took some, and later came to thank us!

I know some people knock homoeopathy but it works for us, and is no more expensive than drug treatment, so it might be worth a try.

However, on the Dover/Calais/Dunkirk crossings I don't think I have ever felt seasick except when we used to use the hovercraft years and years ago!
