We went to a friend's wedding overnight and left him with my parents. He was pretty good and was super excited to see us when we got home which was nice! I did call pretty often though until he was sound asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-leave-your-child-over-night-for-the-first-time#post-1429578 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:50:47 +0000 Smurfette 1429578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost 8 months. My parents watched her over night at their house. We went out to dinner for our anniversary and slept in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-leave-your-child-over-night-for-the-first-time#post-1429574 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:49:49 +0000 GrapeCrush 1429574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months. DH went on a 4 day vacation to Jamaica.<br /> We haven't left #2 overnight yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-leave-your-child-over-night-for-the-first-time#post-1429539 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:31:23 +0000 Amelieisme 1429539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About that age. I left him with my IL's and we stayed in town, but enjoyed a night/morning to ourselves. He did great! He is super flexible and easy going in general though and spends a lot of time with his grandparents! You should do it :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-leave-your-child-over-night-for-the-first-time#post-1429525 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:27:53 +0000 MamaMagpie 1429525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just left DS for the first time last weekend, he's 5 months and he was at home with his daddy while I was on a work trip. </p> <p>While it was really hard and I missed him terribly, I didn't have a complete meltdown like I thought I would! Many, many moments trying to hold back tears, but it worked out great and the huuuuuge smiles I got the next time I saw him made up for it a little bit :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-leave-your-child-over-night-for-the-first-time#post-1429513 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:25:14 +0000 purrpletulips 1429513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was 18m, my parents came and stayed at our house with her; she had a blast (didn't even ask about us :().</p> <p>DS was 8weeks and again my parents came and stayed at our house. He did really well for them and slept better than usual but that was possibly because he was getting formula since I didn't have enough pumped milk to cover the time we were away (came back with a whole bunch though). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-leave-your-child-over-night-for-the-first-time#post-1429506 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:23:10 +0000 Purpledaisy 1429506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old were they? Who did you leave them with? How did it go? </p> <p>DH's birthday is coming up and I've been thinking about planning a surprise over night get away and leaving DD with my dad. She will be 13 months then. And I'm kind of being a mama bear about it :silly: </p>
