Leaving baby overnight with grandparents

if possible i’d see if you can leave the baby with them for one night before agreeing to leave them for two days, ( to get a feel of what it feels like/looks like) or see if you can’t split between your inlaws and mom to make yourself feel more relaxed about the situation

I personally wouldn’t have left my baby that young but everyone is so different. If you don’t feel comfortable don’t feel forced!

Another option could be that baby and grandma travel down with you and stay close by? That way if you want to go back to baby/ anything happens/ baby doesn’t settle you’re not far x

We left our baby at 2 months old with my MIL to go to London for a day/night to see the football with my partner. We were nervous at first but she was sending us pics of him napping, smiling, keeping me updated which helped reassure me. I wrote out in my notes all his little things and queues he does to help her with him as best as I could think of. And before we knew it, we were back! X

My daughter had her first sleepover when she was around 9 months old at my partners mam. I felt very comfortable with it as we’re very close with her and she looks after her 1-2 days a week from 7 months old when I went to work.

Best thing to do is have a trial run beforehand. Get them to have little one over night a couple of weeks before you go away so they are familiar with the bedtime and nighttime routine but also you’re closer by incase little one doesn’t settle of they can’t manage for whatever reason. And also maybe see if they could have him every so often for a couple of hours a day to learn his cues. Or another option is to write everything down for them x
