Leaving your baby

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

I had to leave my baby with my husband and grandparents etc after 5 weeks because I was admitted to hospital for 9 days. It was awful and I hated being away from her, but it does mean now I’m more confident to leave her for a few hours/a day with someone else. Don’t listen to what anyone else says, do it in your own time and whenever you’re ready, don’t let anyone pressure you. Had I not have been forced into it, I don’t think I’d have left her with anyone else (except her dad) yet either!

I had left her for a few hours so we could do shopping for Christmas as my fiancee has a small car and has to put the seats down and when we went to get her registered. Only left her for one night on new years as me and my fiancee were drinking but haven’t and won’t do it again since because I hate being away from her and I cried the whole night on new years because I missed her and regretted even letting her go for the night

Won’t do it again lol until she’s nearly 2 years old

Nope… and even my 2yr old has only been apart from us 3 times in his life before he started preschool recently and 2 of those times were scans for Oct baby
