I missed her and felt so guilty that I wasn't there if she needed me. But she was fine and I had a great time. She was a clingy little thing for the following week though. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1976228 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 21:30:43 +0000 artsyfartsy 1976228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ScarletBegonia: Very late answer but yes! He slept all night and even slept in 2 hours later than at home so it all went well. It was great </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1963279 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 14:23:07 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1963279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you get some sleep?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1963275 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 14:20:09 +0000 NurseDMB 1963275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can imagine that being tough! My DS is 16 months and I still haven't left him overnight anywhere. I'm sure he would be fine, but I wouldn't, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1963158 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 11:34:43 +0000 Applesandbananas 1963158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: that's awesome! Hope you had a wonderful night's sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1963156 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 11:31:46 +0000 artsyfartsy 1963156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He slept all night. Even slept in until 7am! Better than at home. He was happy and playing when we got here this morning </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1963109 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 10:06:52 +0000 catomd00 1963109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope you had a nice evening alone! DH wants to take me away for our anniversary in March (DD will be 13 months) and I'm already nervous about it. Initially he wanted to go away for a week, but we compromised on a weekend trip instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1963010 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 05:38:45 +0000 wonderstruck 1963010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time is always hard - with both boys I gave my mom a ridiculous amount of instructions and called constantly to check in. But I think you could really use the break, mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1963008 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 05:13:56 +0000 erinpye 1963008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.5 years into parenthood, and 2 babies, and we've never been offered a night away- take it, and sleeeeep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1962954 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 23:20:42 +0000 MrsStar 1962954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Enjoy! LO is 26 months and I still haven't spent the night away from her, probably won't until I have this LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1962924 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 22:27:53 +0000 Jess1483 1962924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've done a couple. I think the first was around 19 or 20 months. He had been put down a couple times by my parents at our house, and taken a number of naps at theirs. It has always gone fine. In fact, DH and I are having an overnight date night tomorrow while they keep him! I always miss him, but it's nice to re-connect with DH (and sleep better!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1962911 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 22:05:15 +0000 loveisstrange 1962911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it the first time when C was about 8 months old and I freaked out all night too. lol. I think thats totally normal.</p> <p>But yeah, she's 2.5 now... someone please take her. Id love to sleep in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1962910 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 22:02:59 +0000 luckypenny 1962910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Enjoy it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1962836 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 20:01:20 +0000 Dandelion 1962836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M was 3 weeks old when I started my gall bladder issues and 5 weeks when it came out. It was hard to be away from him, but the pain meds made it all better lol.</p> <p>Since then he's never been away overnight. But D has. He's 7 though. I'm over it by now lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1962834 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 19:59:25 +0000 Honeygold89 1962834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't yet either but DH is planning a romantic weekend for my birthday the end of December and we're planning on let N stay at one of our parents or his sister house then and I'm already having mixed feelings about but I'm excited at the same time so we'll see how that goes then. But for you I say try and do something relaxing and enjoy yourself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1962833 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 19:52:06 +0000 matador84 1962833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only overnight I've had is having dd when I was in the hospital. So that wasn't until DS was 17 months old. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1962832 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 19:50:55 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1962832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't spent overnight away yet, but my MIL did bedtime with my son for the first time (and although he gets formula during the day, I've breastfed him before bed every night of his life!) and it went off without a hitch! We got home around 1am and he was sleeping peacefully, and did until 6am (which was a rude awakening for us). He'll be fine!! Enjoy your sleep :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-overnight-away-from-lo#post-1962830 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 19:46:10 +0000 artsyfartsy 1962830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom came in for Thanksgiving and wanted to keep T overnight at my grandmothers. At first I was excited to go home and get good sleep, but now that I left him Im so worried and I miss him!!! He's a good sleeper but has only ever been used to us putting him to bed. </p> <p>Wah. Was it this hard for you all too? I'm not sure if I'll even sleep!! </p>
