Almost 4 month old and travel, experiences, advice, opinions?
My child is currently 2 months old, him and his mother live 4 hours away. Baby boy is very healthy and not breast feeding. I’m currently traveling every other weekend to have him overnight in a hotel. I have everything I need to take care of him and have zero problems. I am a very active father, showing all the effort I can being so far away.
With 4th of July coming up he will be almost 4 months old (July 18th), I was hoping to have him for a few days on that weekend. His mother insists that he will be too young for a 4 hour drive and for that long of a stay. I’ve looked up a bunch of stuff online surrounding the subject and it seems as long as he is healthy and we plan the drive carefully and well, it should be all good. We would meet half way which is two hours and I would be able to let him stretch his little body out of a car seat, feed, and change him before him doing my leg of the trip. I have everything I need to care for him at my home, it’s been ready and waiting. Place to sleep, supplies, etc.
I was wondering what everyone’s thoughts and opinions were or if anyone had experience with this.
EDIT:
Any opinions or any experiences with possible stress from being separated from mom for a few days at 4 months?
