No weekends away or the like with both yet but I have no doubt everyone would survive! I think a weekend away needs to be in the books once DD weans though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before/page/2#post-2427235 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:27:06 +0000 Winterbee15 2427235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just once for one night. He was about 9 months and STTN so it wasn't too hectic for DH. He definetly has to turn the volume up on the monitor whereas I pretty much always sleep with one eye open :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before/page/2#post-2427224 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:22:23 +0000 travelgirl1 2427224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He had DD for two nights while I was in hospital having her baby brother. He hasn't had the baby by himself though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before/page/2#post-2427214 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:18:50 +0000 Alivoo01 2427214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. The most he's watched DS was a few hours (like 4 hours maybe) when I went to dinner with the girls for a girl's night in/out kinda thing. I'm know he can though since we've been co-sleeping. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before/page/2#post-2427177 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:01:26 +0000 Ajsmommy 2427177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, multiple times.. they were just fine. However, the first time when DD was only about 6 months he couldn't get her to go back down after her MOTN feeding so they were up for few hours during the night. It was a Thursday night and he ended up calling off of work the next day :silly: I got home at about 10 am and he was whooped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before/page/2#post-2427170 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 08:57:15 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2427170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, never! I know he could handle K no issues, but I don't know if he would wake up when the baby cried or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before/page/2#post-2427124 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 08:27:22 +0000 Littlebit 2427124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet, but soon! I have a girl trip to vegas coming up in April! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before/page/2#post-2427102 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 08:01:30 +0000 ValentineMommy 2427102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! If I ever went somewhere overnight, DH would probably be with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before/page/2#post-2427055 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 06:36:20 +0000 winniebee 2427055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The older one he has multiple times. The younger one, he hasn't. He absolutely could, There's just been no opportunity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before/page/2#post-2427054 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 06:32:17 +0000 FaithFertility 2427054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but now that she is weaned completely and well is one, maybe I should :silly:<br /> He is great with her so I have no doubts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before/page/2#post-2427052 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 06:29:16 +0000 Andrea 2427052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, many times. It's been fine. Have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before/page/2#post-2426932 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 23:53:23 +0000 MrsRcCar 2426932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Never. It would be rough for him but I think he would do fine. Everyone would survive. DH has school and work so he isn't the primary caregiver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before/page/2#post-2426928 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 23:51:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 2426928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think only once when I slept over after a late girls' night. He's completely capable of it, there just haven't been opportunities. At least for the toddler, I don't think I'd be comfortable leaving the newborn with him overnight yet (just because I'm breastfeeding and she clusterfeeds from like 1-6am every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426924 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 23:47:30 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2426924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - DH watched her for the entire Labor Day weekend last year while I went to his sister's bachelorette party. DD was 3 months old at the time. DH is totally capable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426468 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 16:43:37 +0000 petunia354 2426468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! 2 nights while I was away at SIL's baby shower, one night when i was in the hospital and then once when he sent me to an overnight at a hotel/spa. He's very capable!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426464 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 16:41:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 2426464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep several times. I went to Nashville for 3 days in November and he handled both girls like a pro. He's an extremely capable dad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426454 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 16:36:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2426454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This week I was gone Monday through Friday which wasn't terrible because they had daycare. In the past I've gone Saturday through Thursday and that's harder over the weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426451 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 16:33:27 +0000 jape14 2426451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only once so far for one night while I was on a work trip. I have another one coming up in two weeks where I'll be gone for four nights. I actually haven't had LO overnight along myself so far (he's 16 months) bc DH never travels for work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426448 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 16:31:28 +0000 travellingbee 2426448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Several times. No problems at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426444 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 16:28:37 +0000 autumnlove 2426444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, two nights. It was fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426442 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 16:27:57 +0000 Applesandbananas 2426442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I went across the country for a week. It was aaaaaawesome! They survived :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426183 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:25:15 +0000 gilmoregirl 2426183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, a couple of times. It doesn't even phase him, which makes it really easy for me to leave. He'll be solo for a weekend in February while I have a girls trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426159 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:17:26 +0000 mrsjyw 2426159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He hasn't yet since DS2 was born last summer, but he will be in next month and a few times after that when I go away for a few wknds :) </p> <p>He's done it a lot with DS1, I know he'll be fine with DS2 too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426147 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:15:41 +0000 Pumuckl 2426147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they did fine. </p> <p>@twodoghouse: If I were you, I'd go. Most kids react totally different if one of their parents isn't there and are thus fine with a deviation from their regular routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426125 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:09:02 +0000 PrincessBaby 2426125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my husband has kept them lots by himself overnight when I've been away for meetings and he is just as capable as me- which I would expect nothing less! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426117 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:06:51 +0000 lilteacherbee 2426117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He just watched both of them together for the first time a couple nights ago (they're 2 and 5 months). LO2 woke up way less than usual, probably because he knew the boobs were gone lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426109 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:04:43 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2426109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But he is going to in May. Can't wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426107 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:03:54 +0000 Mae 2426107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. But I wouldn't hesitate to leave him with her overnight, I know they'd be totally fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-so-watched-your-los-overnight-alone-before#post-2426103 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:02:49 +0000 Mrs D 2426103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I travel for work...so DH has watched K a handful of times. Most notably:</p> <p>5 nights for a domestic trip<br /> 10 nights for an international trip</p> <p>Several other times just a night or two. When I am gone for a weekend I try to arrange for one of my parents to take K and give him a short break (2 hours or so). When I went domestic I arranged for my mom to come get her one night from DC and put her to bed - to give DH 1 night off. </p> <p>When I went international - I asked my mom to take her for 24 hours (saturday AM to Sunday lunch time) - so DH could decompress. </p> <p>He has asked that I not take any work trips until DD2 (due in March) is 9 mos old and that if weekends are involved (international only) we consider a sitter for a 3 hour chunk Saturday and Sunday. I think its fair. </p>
