You can drive 4 hours with a newborn although you should stop at least every 1 hour to 2 hours and allow the newborn to have some time out of the car seat.
Babies should sit in the middle of the seat or center seat where they can be viewed more easily.
However if you cannot place the baby car seat in the middle then putting the baby behind the drivers seat or passenger seat is fine.
If a baby is left in a car seat for more than 2 hours it can lead to strain of the spine and may even cause the baby to die in rare cases.
When a baby is in a semi upright position for longer than 2 hours it can lead to strain on the baby's developing spine.
A baby should not be in a car seat longer than 2 hours or it can become a health concern and can even cause death if the baby stays in the car seat too long from being in the same position too long.
A newborn can ride alone in the back seat although it's best to sit in the back seat with the newborn or at least have someone else sit in the back seat to attend to the newborn until at least 1 month of age.
You should sit in the backseat with your newborn baby until your newborn is at least 1 month old.
After 1 month old the newborn can sit in the backseat in their car seat on their own.
Babies get more fussy at 6 weeks as they are going through a growth spurt by 6 weeks of age and will want to eat more.
6 weeks is the peak of fussiness because the baby is going through a growth spurt that can cause the baby to want to eat more often both day and night.
6 week fussiness tends to last until the baby turns 12 weeks old.
The crying reaches a peak at 6 weeks of the newborns life, when crying approaches almost three hours per day.
Crying then decreases steadily and the fussy period is usually gone by 12 weeks.
The "least" fussy babies cry at least 1 1/4 hours per day.
The hardest week of a newborn is the 6th week of a newborns life.
Around 6 weeks of age, your newborn baby is due for another major growth spurt, which can really throw you off.
All of a sudden, your content little newborn baby wants to eat all the time and is extra fussy.
Many young babies have a “fussy period” of a few hours each day, when they especially need lots of calming and soothing.
This is most commonly, though not always, in the evening and first part of the night, and tends to build in intensity over the next few weeks.
The peak age for crying is around 6-8 weeks.
Many babies tend to get "easier" around 3 to 4 months of age.
Around this age, infants will usually begin to sleep longer stretches and feed on a more predictable schedule.
You may also start to adjust to your new set of responsibilities as a parent.
The witching hour is a time when an otherwise content baby is extremely fussy.
It typically occurs daily between 5:00 pm and 11:00 pm.
It can last a few minutes to a couple of hours.
For most babies, the witching hour starts to occur around 2-3 weeks and peaks at 6 weeks.
Parents are often getting more comfortable caring for and understanding their baby's needs.
However, 4 weeks is also a time of increased fussiness and sometimes colic, so in some ways, 4 weeks is a tougher time for parents.
This fussy period should subside in the next few weeks.
The 3 types of baby cries are.
Hunger cry: Newborns during their first 3 months of life need to be fed every couple of hours.
Colic: During the first month after birth, about 1 in 5 newborns may cry because of colic pain.
Sleep cry: If your baby is 6 months old, your child should be able to fall asleep on their own.
By 6 months, most infants are capable of going 8 or more hours without needing a feed in the night, so it's an ideal time to encourage them to self-soothe themselves to sleep and back to sleep if they wake up.
