Can you feed a baby in a car seat while driving?
My husband and I are going to see his parents next month, and we’ve decided to drive. We have a new baby, though, and we don’t want to have to stop every couple of hours to feed her. Can’t I just feed her in the car seat while my husband drives?

When you have a lengthy drive, stopping every few hours for any reason may sound like a major downer. But feeding a baby in a car while driving comes with its fair share of dangers, and stopping every few hours to stretch your legs and rest is a generally good idea when you’re on a road trip.
That said, if you need to feed your baby when there aren’t any stopping points available, make sure to stick to the following guidelines to keep you and your baby safe:
- be sure you’re buckled in
- keep your baby in an **upright position **
- never prop the bottle up—This can be very dangerous if you find yourself in an accident.
Be warned that motion sickness is a real thing, so don’t be surprised if your desire to save a few minutes leads to an
emergency car clean-up
