We don't have family nearby and DS didn't start STTN till recently (he's 2), so I didn't want to burden a friend with MOTN awakenings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2325230 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 07:03:52 +0000 Bubbles 2325230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One night quite recently for a family party - he was 20 months. I found it quite tough but LO didn't bat an eyelid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2325229 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 06:57:09 +0000 lovehoneybee 2325229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're spent a weekend away from him for a wedding last year (dropped him off at my BIL's house Friday afternoon, picked him up Sunday afternoon) , and we'll be doing the same for a wedding this weekend (although I won't see him after D drops me off at work in the morning). </p> <p>D spent a little over a week away from him for a work trip when he was around 7-8 months old. It really sucked because I got very sick, but it was also over Easter so I could take him to my IL's house. We face-timed a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2325161 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 23:08:40 +0000 littleblessings 2325161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD just overnight while I was in the hospital after having DS. She stayed with nana and papa but visited every day.<br /> DS was about 8 hours while SO took me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324907 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 15:41:07 +0000 mrsjazz 2324907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 3.5 and the longest we've been away together is 2 nights. They went away without me this summer for 3 nights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324900 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 15:28:08 +0000 Thrifty Mama 2324900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a few hours. I'm still nervous about leaving him with anyone but myself. The only people who have watched DS have been his grandparents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324874 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 14:40:11 +0000 Finfan 2324874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is almost 3.5 and the longest we have both been away at the same time is one night. Less than 24 hours. It went OK. That was just during the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324867 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 14:27:16 +0000 daniellemybelle 2324867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Santa Barbara for a wedding and getaway when LO was 9 months old for 5 days. She stayed with my parents. It was hard (I had to pump!) but totally worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324847 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 14:03:26 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2324847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This past summer he stayed with my parents (out of state) for 5 days/4nights before I could join them for vacation time. It was great, my husband and I really enjoyed the time alone together. Our son was fine, but I think he did miss us &amp; his home/routine (he was a bit older than 2.5 at the time). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324731 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 10:22:00 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2324731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 nights. We don't really have anyone we'd feel comfortable leaving her with for longer than that at this age and no local family. Maybe some day we'll be able to travel together alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324725 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 10:11:53 +0000 AngelicOne 2324725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The longest was like 4 hrs with DH when I went to get my hair done at the beginning of summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324682 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 07:55:20 +0000 Rockies11 2324682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have left our oldest for 24 hours a couple of times for 24 hours. I was in the hospital for a week having the baby, so I was away but saw her every day. I was in the hospital 5 days when my youngest was 3 months, so I would keep her during the day and she would go for 12 or so hours overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324660 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 06:43:36 +0000 bloved 2324660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 nights this past summer when he was 2. He stayed with my in-laws and we face timed everyday. I think we definitely missed him more than he missed us as he was always trying to get off the FaceTime to go do something fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324657 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 06:34:15 +0000 looch 2324657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Overnight, my son is almost 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324646 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 04:26:54 +0000 Alba4 2324646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 days. My in-laws watched him and he had a blast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324644 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 03:54:30 +0000 buttermilk 2324644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only 2 hours to celebrate our anniversary with a nice dinner. She is 2 months now, and I can't wait to be able to go on more date nights once she has more of an evening routine. Right now the evening fussiness still makes it a bit unpredictable. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324636 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 02:21:03 +0000 abmamma 2324636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have taken two long weekend trips (3 nights) and left LO1 with grandparents - once when she was 15 months and last spring when she was 2.5. We haven't left LO2 yet but he's only 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324630 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 00:11:27 +0000 simplyfelicity 2324630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 3 months old and we left him for a few hours to go to dinner and a comedy show </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324629 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 00:08:37 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2324629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 nights. We left the older two at 3 years and 18 1/2 months to go on a babymoon. They stayed at nana's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324624 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 23:39:12 +0000 sapphire 2324624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't left our 7 month old LO overnight yet, but she'll have an overnight with one grandma next month and two nights with the other granny in December. I'm nervous just because I'll miss her, but I know it's good for all of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324588 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 22:07:54 +0000 shopaholic 2324588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 8-9 days for an international wedding (which we parlayed into a baby moon as well). We left her with grandparents &amp; auntie. I think it was harder on me than her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo/page/2#post-2324583 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 22:00:12 +0000 Mrs. D 2324583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: two nights this past June. We went to Saskatoon to See Shania Twainwhen we were living in Northern SK.

LO is currently 13 months old, and we have planned a week-long adults only trip for this Feb when she is 17 months - I am already nervous and uncomfortable about it! (but also excited?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo#post-2324529 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 20:21:30 +0000 Ms. RV 2324529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9.5 hours one day when we both had to work late. She's only two months old though. I was out of state that day so technically I was away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo#post-2324527 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 20:20:11 +0000 travellingbee 2324527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Mexico for 4 nights and he stayed with my parents.

It's hard to take LO so she stays with my parents during day and with my hubby at night. We FaceTime each night and that helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-and-your-so-have-been-away-from-your-lo#post-2324520 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 20:00:24 +0000 MrsKoala 2324520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now!
