Traveling with a newborn.

Illy_87

Hello Mamas, I am due Christmas day. first baby! sadly we are unable to spend Christmas with my husband's family. we are in tough binding because the family has postponed celebrating Christmas until the baby is born. My husband's family live 4 houra away from us. My husband thinks that we will be able to travel with the baby shortly after birth. I would like to wait until baby is 40 days old or has some of the shots. My question is have any of you traveled with a newborn? if so how old? distance?
