Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

I haven’t because she’s breastfed and won’t take a bottle, my first had stayed out long before now at his Nannie’s. However there’s no rush and if you’re not ready that’s fine x

Your baby, your choice. Everyone else can get in the bin.

Nope, and my first o don’t leave until she’s 16 months. Don’t let anyone pressure you! Do what feels right, if you don’t feel ready all you’ll do is worry and you’ll not enjoy anything anyway. X

With my first I had no desire to be apart from her, maybe left her for an hour or two on two occasions in that first 11 months before I went back to work. I think she was 6 months the first time for a lunch and again around 9/10 months but more because I was forced to rather than a want! She didn't have her first sleepover until 15 months and that was only because I attended a child free wedding. Feel exactly the same this time round!!
If you aren't ready, then you aren't ready, no one else should make you feel as if that is wrong!

You don't have to have left her by now at all. I think my eldest was 6 months before I left him with his nanna for a day and 9 months when I left him overnight and a lot of people I know thought that was early!

My little one has had a sleepover at my parents house when he was 4 months and he goes to my mums once a week when I have a day at work x was hard to begin with but gets easier x just do what is best for you and your little one x

We only left him with my mum for a couple of hours when we went for Valentine’s dinner. Not over night though and I don't think I would until he's at least 1 year old!
I do think it's everyone's personal choice xx
