(not sure if drive thrus violate your no stopping rule though ;) ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-work-road-trip-with-lo#post-1153802 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 19:18:22 +0000 matador84 1153802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Penny Lane: just the two of us. right now i'm thinking about swinging by chick-fil-a and getting him some nuggets or something on the way out of town. not sure if i'd be better off with that or a pouch...i don't want him to starve, but i hate stopping too and want to get there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-work-road-trip-with-lo#post-1153777 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 18:58:22 +0000 Penny Lane 1153777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>maybe feed him something right after daycare, so that if he does fall asleep you can feel okay letting him sleep without worrying that he's hungry?</p> <p>will someone else be with you? if so you could sit in the back while they're driving so you can feed LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-work-road-trip-with-lo#post-1153767 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 18:51:14 +0000 matador84 1153767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I am leaving right from work at 4 on Friday, picking ds up from daycare and hitting the road for a 4 hour road trip. I'm wondering how I should feed him dinner in the car? If he falls asleep (which he usually does) should I let him sleep or wake him? What would you do? </p>
