My baby didn't take a bottle from me but would take it from literally anyone else if im not in the room.

If you are worried, are there shops within 30 min drive? So you can feed right before you go.

I left mine with my husband at around 4 weeks old to go to a doctors appt for a couple hrs.

I was never away from my baby for more than 30 mins to an hour, which was maybe like twice until I went back to work when he was 11.5 months old!

Last week when she started school 😂

About 8mo.

I left my baby at 6 weeks for 3 hours with her dad as I needed to attend an appointment. I expressed and left a bottle but she refused to have it, she cried and then fell asleep, I felt so bad when I got home but i fed her straight away and she was fine! I have since left her again for a little while but I make sure I feed her and put her down for a nap so she sleeps most of the time I’m out, this works for me!

I pretty much stayed with baby until she was around 6 months. The only time I really left was to pop out to the shops or to exercise for less than an hour. I can leave her for a 5-6 hours now she’s weaning and I know she’ll be more than okay without my boobs for that amount of time. It’s only been the last 2 months, so I would say around 8ish months. I haven’t left her overnight yet.

At 5 months we went out for food. We dropped our son at my mums house, fed him right before we left, went to a restaurant 5 minutes down the road, and were back well before he needed his next feed

I just did last week to have 1.5 hours with my toddler, fed her before I left and dad took her on dog walk so she would sleep I wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t for my toddler though
