I think the main thing with traveling with a young baby is just to make sure you get them out of the car regularly. I wouldn't go more than 2 hours without stopping.
When our girl was 6 months we had to do a 90 minute drive to woolongong... It took us 4 hours ha! Sydney traffic meant she slept for the first half, then cried for the last half and had stop halfway to let her out to calm down. Deffo build in flexible timeline. -
have you looked into trains? we checked the jeeb on a train in paris nd flew down to nice. we were drinking wine on the balcony at 2pm and the car turned up at noon the next day. we jumped in and drove to Florence (mental drive!).
there are routes that go further east.

I realise that doesn't sound like the dreamy, laissez-faire attitiude that some might take to such a road trip but that comes when we get to Italy. He's still a bit young and averse to the car sear for us to subject him to 12 hour days of driving on scenic roads.
