It’s up to you personally. My daughter is 13 months old and only been away from me for a maximum of 12 hours over the course of her life and they were with nurses or her dad.

Mine was 13 days old if that helps. My husband and I went for a day date and some shopping afterwards, she stayed with my parents

I think it’s whenever you feel ready, mine stayed overnight at her grandparents when she was 3 months old xx

My baby will be staying with my mum for the majority of the day time when it’s 6 months, as that’s how long I’ll be off for maternity before going back full time most likely! They won’t forget you or love you any less if you go and have fun 🩷 They will probably thrive off of you being happier because you did something you enjoy, as long as you are ready :) x

My son turns 4 years old in December and never been left with anyone, but I’ve got my reasons behind it.

6 weeks he started weekly sleepovers at my parents house x

I went back to work at 6 months so my son was left with a childminder for most of the day. It’s when you feel ready.

3 months old we left our little girl for the day. It’s no one’s business but yours. No matter how much you trust the person you’re always going to be anxious and miss them! So just try enjoy yourself!

About 2 weeks old. But I was in hospital so she couldn't stay with me and dad needed a break before he broke 🤣
I swore I'd never leave her that young but then I didn't have a choice and actually I think it helped my anxiety

My birthday was 3 weeks pp and we went out for the night and our son stayed with the in laws, however we did live with them at this point so the only difference is that he was upstairs still in the same house

Been with grandparents since day 1.
Born 12:26am.. Grammy watched her while I slept.

I went to a baseball game when my son was 5 months. He stayed with my sister and I felt bad leaving him but then I saw someone else with a baby there and my son would have hated sitting in one place for that long. Instead he had a fun day with his Aunt and his dad and I got a date day. I don't judge the other parents the baby seemed happy I just know my son wouldn't have liked it.

Did it very early on personally with no issues then on or going

My son will be 4 in a couple weeks and I haven’t gone a day or night without him… good luck!

First time I left her with my mum she was 4 weeks old. It was only for about 3 hours. And my mum’s house is a 10 minute walk away

Totally up to you. My little one was 10 weeks old when we left him with his granny so we could go to a concert. They did stay at our house though and she is a nurse which eased my worries 😅
