Never

My in law never and there now 16,10,9. My mom but she lived with us. Since I got home from the hospital

4 months. But only for like an hour or 2. Its whatever you feel comfortable doing no one else can tell you when you can/can’t leave them d

For a few hours when LO was 10 days old. For a couple of days when he was 12 months

never have and never will.

Tried when she was about 4 months and got back to her screaming bloody murder while they were outside smoking they said we were just letting her scream it out ( i dont do that ). my daughter had stomach issues that they knew about and still let her scream in pain they have not been left alone with her since

18 months for my mother in law. We always had someone else with her though and it won't be happening again because she has completely lost my trust due to other things. My father-in-law, that would NEVER happen. My parents haven't even watched him though 😬

@Taylor I’m so sorry they thought that was okay

Maybe 2 months old? Can’t remember exactly but it was early. I fully trust them.

My mother in law is allowed to watch my daughter for a few hours but I haven’t gotten to trust her enough for longer if I’m being honest

Around 6 months for an hour or 2 but properly since he was 8 months old and we were both back in work

My MIL is the only person I trust to watch our son. He’s 4 months now and baby sat him solo for 2 hours when he was 2 months and 6 hours when he was 3 months old. I don’t go above 6 hours just because I miss him to much but but really just depends on how much you trust them and if they respect your boundaries

I left my son with my parents when he was a month old. I would have with my mil except she had terminal cancer.

About a year old.

The MIL has always babysat from when my LO was 3 weeks!

The first time was 9 months for a couple of hours, but we tried overnight at 13 months, and then of course, he had a medical emergency (nothing they did my son has a medical condition where he can go into a medical emergency at any time), and they did the right thing we met them up at hospital 3rd time was about 15/16 months and that one went much better then he had him monthly til he was like 14/15 years where he didn't want to go as much as we had things on the weekend or just wanted to hang out at home. My inlaws have been such a great help with lots of support.
