I’m meant to be going to a hen next weekend Friday to Monday babies only 6 weeks old.
Bottle fed. Would you go or would you not
Yes I’m worried about leaving baby I also don’t want to let my friends down 😢

I wouldn’t leave a 6week old. Not just the baby but have you even fully healed? Your friends should understand

I would! Like you say dad is fully competent, enjoy it! If you want to, then go have some fun! But also normal to be apprehensive and I don’t think your friends would think you’re letting them down at all!

100% go & have a great time! The baby is in good hands and well looked after xx

This is such a personal thing. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my son for more than an hour or two until he was over 6 months, he’s now 2 and the only time I’ve been away overnight was giving birth to my daughter. I know myself I wouldn’t enjoy it as I’d be constantly on edge thinking about them. But I also know friends who’ve been happy leaving young babies overnight with husbands, parents etc and found it to be fine.

I would. My husband is my partner and my equal. He is just as capable and competent to look after our children as I am 😉 whether you feel ready or not is a completely different question!
not sure tbh everyday I change my mind
Hubby is a fantastic dad but I’m just nervous about it cause she’s soo wee
emergency c section too but I feel well and know not to push myself we’re only lounging about playing hen games and doing some actives nothing strenuous
with my first I don’t think I left her till she was about 6 months old but then I went back to work at a year and due to shift work she spends a lot of time at grandparents but she really enjoys it and she’s a confident wee thing. Just worries me cause tint tot is still soo young 😢
