My MIL, BIL and his gf watched her and sent us lots of pics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-lo-for-a-date-night#post-362385 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 08:12:09 +0000 mediagirl 362385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had date nights when we were in Florida with my husband's parents. They were early nights - got home by 7 at the latest - but we got away. She was about 3 months.</p> <p>I don't know when we will feel comfortable leaving her with a sitter or someone who isn't family, though.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-lo-for-a-date-night#post-362367 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 08:01:38 +0000 plaidpants 362367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a lunch date when LO was 4 weeks. We left her with my mom. I don't remember the first time we left her at night. We waited until she had a real bedtime so we knew she wouldn't even notice we were gone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-lo-for-a-date-night#post-362331 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 07:37:33 +0000 mamabolt 362331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We left her with my mom when she was 3.5 weeks old and went out to dinner. We also left her with my mom at 8 weeks and DH's mom at 11 weeks to go to weddings, those trips were a little longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-lo-for-a-date-night#post-361622 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:46:28 +0000 heffalump 361622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even remember .... but I know we waited awhile. I'm sure we just went to dinner for like an hour and then straight home. Now that lo's 15 months we go weekly if we can get a babysitter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-lo-for-a-date-night#post-361616 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:41:06 +0000 littlecasita1122 361616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think LO was 3 weeks old when we left him with my sister for a couple hours during the day. We went to a movie and he was napping the whole time. He was probably about 3 months old when we did an actual date night and went to dinner for a couple hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-lo-for-a-date-night#post-361504 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:08:04 +0000 Boogs 361504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did a couple weekends ago. We definitely want to get better about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-lo-for-a-date-night#post-361168 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:20:18 +0000 Honeybee 361168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to leave DD at 6 months for work function. We were gone about 2 hours, and begged off early so we could go home. :) We haven't left DS yet, but we'll have to for the company Holiday party; he'll be 8.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-lo-for-a-date-night#post-361166 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:19:50 +0000 mrsjyw 361166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We plan on doing it for a movie date sometime in Dec to watch the last Twilight movie. Leaving him with my mom or DH's mom for a few hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-lo-for-a-date-night#post-361164 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:18:53 +0000 bushelandapeck 361164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 11 weeks and we still haven't left him with anyone...I'm trying to get up the courage to do it soon so I'll let you know when it happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-lo-for-a-date-night#post-361159 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:18:18 +0000 KT326 361159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was 16 weeks old when we had our first date night. We went to a concert for my birthday. We had a great time but apparently our babysitters (Grandpa and his wife) had a hard time getting him to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-lo-for-a-date-night#post-361131 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:11:53 +0000 LuLu Mom 361131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had dinner last night, gone for an hour. She is 3 1/2 week old, hard to leave but great to have some couple time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-lo-for-a-date-night#post-361077 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:58:24 +0000 keiki_mama 361077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We left him with my mom when he was 6 weeks old to watch American Wedding for two hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-lo-for-a-date-night#post-361057 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:46:32 +0000 winniebee 361057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it when he was like 12 weeks, though we had left him for brief periods during the day previously. It was great!</p> <p>We have a date night this weekend, too : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaving-lo-for-a-date-night#post-351045 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:45:00 +0000 Boogs 351045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you first did it, how old was LO? Was it just a few hours or overnight? How did it go? </p>
