Leaving baby at 3 weeks old? Help?

I had my first baby, my little boy almost 2 weeks ago. My OH's grandma sadly died yesterday. Her funeral is already arranged for just over a weeks time, when DS will be 3 and a half weeks old. We are up north and my OH's family are from down south so obviously the funeral will involve a 6 hour drive and a minimum of one night stay down there. I want to be there for OH and it will look bad if I don't go but I don't think it's fair to bring a 3 week old and although I trust my mum who would look after him with my life, the thought of leaving him this soon is making me feel a little bit sick.
What would you do? xx

user0157 is correct. FLeming said babies under 4 weeks should only go on essential car journeys.

Either not go, or take the baby.

Do you know anyone who has a lie-flat car seat?

And sorry for your loss Flowers
