Newborn | Sleep

My daughter is now almost 4 months old. Because we have only one car, and I pick up my husband from work after 10 p.m., we put the baby to sleep at 10:30 or 11 p.m. Everyone tells us it's bad for her to go to sleep this late, but we don't have anyone to stay with her while we're gone. Will this hurt her? What is the "right time" to put her down? Please help!

My daughter is 10 weeks old and since about 4 weeks has slept most comfortably in her infant carrier seat. She sleeps pretty much through the night or gets up only once, then falls right back asleep. We recently tried putting her in her crib to sleep. She now gets up about every hour or two and has difficulty getting back to sleep. Is it medically unwise to allow her to sleep in the infant carrier seat?
