[quote=Anonymous]What about traveling during the night? We did this a few times. DH was the driver and he slept during the day. He woke at 5 pm and we had dinner. We put the baby to sleep and then carefully transferred him to the car. I think we pulled out at around 8 pm. He slept 4 hours straight of 8 hour trip. I had also napped a bit during the day and ended up dozing off in the car for a few hours, woke when the baby did, we stopped and fed him. He was awake for maybe 30 mins and dozed back off. He had another stretch of 3 or 4 hours of sleep where I slept as well. He woke when we were about 45 mins from our destination and we did a final stop to feed. I think we arrived at our destination at around 6 am. DH and I slept for a few hours and MIL & FIL had baby duty. My Ped said you can relax about the 2-hour rule once their necks are stronger and they have good head control. She still recommended checking on their head position and breathing every hour. [/quote]
