Hi,
We are currently going on a trip down to Cornwall this week for 2 weeks with an 10 (nearly 11) week old baby.
What would you recommend in terms or stops and how many times during the journey do we stop?
I have read on the NHS website to stop every 2 hours. My baby is normally relatively good in the car. He will cry when initially first driving but will normally go to sleep until we stop.
The journey normally takes us just under 6 hours.

Do you have any recommendations as to how often and when to stop? I'm just a bit nervous about taking him in the car for that long.

If he's asleep then that should be fine. We tend to stop every couple of hours simply to stretch legs, spend a penny and generally get out the car for a break.
