Has anyone left their little one for a day/night yet? We have a wedding coming up next month for our very close friends and planning on leaving our little with my mum for the day / night, as we just know it will be too much taking her with us (mostly for her tbh, she gets quite easily overwhelmed at the moment) but I am absolutely dreading it and feel terrible!
She’ll be almost 7 months by the time the wedding comes round.
They are very close friends, My husband is going to be best man and the venue is about an hour away, which is why we are likely staying.
Just wondering if anyone else has done this yet and how they found it/ any advice?

I left my daughter with my mom for two days ( due to me being re-admitted into the hospital) when she was just two weeks old. I could see her on the cameras in our home though. It did not make it easier.
My mother also watched her for us overnight for our anniversary ( she was 3 months). Right now, my mother is the only person I trust to leave her with. We haven’t had our daughter go outside our household to stay with anyone ( she’s 4 months almost 5 months) yet.
I’ll say if you’re comfortable do what works for you both! If you’re able to have cameras, and or be able to video as often as you like that’s great.
I personally will never tell a parent to do and not to do. I will always say make sure the babies are safe!
