DH watched her. The first time we both were away from here was just a few weeks ago and she turns 3 this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2207368 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 08:13:12 +0000 yin 2207368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We left LO1 with my in-laws right before he turned 2. We attended a wedding, and he stayed for two nights. Two months later he spent a week with my sister when we took our babymoon. He occasionally spend the night at my in-laws and loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2207364 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 08:01:21 +0000 Ree723 2207364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still waiting on that to happen at nearly 3 yrs old and 16 months old! We're thinking of doing a weekend away to Paris or Amsterdam in September/October and that will be my first time away from them. Longest I've ever been gone was the 8 hours I was in hospital whilst having DD2, and DD1 was asleep for half of that time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2207350 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 07:28:53 +0000 MCD919 2207350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 months for a Vegas girls' weekend! I was still nursing, so I brought my pump for relief, but he didn't drink much milk while I was gone. DS stayed with DH and grandparents when DH was working, and he had a great time! As did Mama ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2207216 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 20:35:54 +0000 delight 2207216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 7m I went away for the weekend and she was home with DH. She was a good sleeper before but that was the first time that she slept through 12 hours straight. I always wondered if DH just didn't "hear" her in the night! At 12m we both went away for 3 days and the grandmas took turns at our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2207198 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 19:42:48 +0000 Smurfette 2207198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents watched her overnight a little before 8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2207193 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 19:28:47 +0000 catlady 2207193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time is going to be next weekend!

I waited until she was night weaned. I have a feeling it will be harder to find someone to take over when we have two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2207117 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 17:00:48 +0000 msplatypus 2207117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5.5 months I went out of town for a work confrence, but DH was with her.

She stayed with my parents while DH and I went to an out of town wedding for 3 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2207111 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 16:50:29 +0000 Truth Bombs 2207111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 13 months I did a night away for work. She stayed with my husband. We didn't do anything before that because she was still nursing and not reliably sleeping through the night so I didn't want to deal with pumping or make anyone else get up at night with her. When she was 15 months I did a week long trip for work. She was supposed to be with my husband but towards the end of my trip he had a death in the family which was a plane ride away and some amazing friends of ours stepped up and kept her until I got back two days later. When she was 18 months old we went to Vegas for four nights and left her with my parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2207088 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 16:17:00 +0000 cat620 2207088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We left my son when he was 20 months old with his grandparents overnight, so we could go out for Valentine's Day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2206491 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 09:02:24 +0000 MrsKoala 2206491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>around 14 monhs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2206473 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 08:46:40 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2206473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO 1 was 2 months we left him with a friend and just slept for a full night at our house. He was only away from us for about 10 hours. The next time he was 6 months when we went to a wedding and he stayed with my mom and dad about 30 minutes away. </p> <p>With LO 2 she was 3 months and I left her with DH to go to the beach with a friend (my first girls trip since before LO 1 was born!) and then we did a second trip together and left the kiddos with the same close friend for 2 nights so we could have a weekend together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2206464 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 08:40:07 +0000 HTownMom 2206464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First one night she stayed with friends for a wedding DH and I went to, when she was 20 months. It was great!<br /> We just got back from 4 day trip to Napa for another wedding and LO, now 22 months, stayed with different friends and did amazing!<br /> If we had family closer I would love to leave her more often!! Also, 4 days was the perfect time to be away, because we got into the adult mind set so could have lots of fun, and I really wanted to see her when we got back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2206402 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 08:00:12 +0000 mrsjyw 2206402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was 3 months when DH and I did an overnight at the local hotel/casino to go see the Lion King, dinner out, etc. We were only a 30 min drive away and my mom watched DS at our house. He STTN and I Just pumped and dumped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2206400 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 07:58:42 +0000 BananaPancakes 2206400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 15 months to go to a concert with my husband. He's stayed a few more times for other concerts we've gone to, but they've only been overnight trips with both of us gone. We've both taken weekend trips, but DS has been left with one of us. We're actually taking a full weekend away together for the first time this month. DS is 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2206393 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 07:50:22 +0000 ALV91711 2206393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was away for a weekend when DS was 22 months. And he stayed with DH. </p> <p>If we lived near any of his grandparents I'm sure he would go for sleepovers but this is not the case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2206382 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 07:45:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 2206382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 weeks with DD1, she stayed at my in laws while we attended a football game. We were there at 6 am to pick her up ;) I feel like a crazy person compared to everyone else, she had consistent overnights from then on with both sets of grandparents. </p> <p>DD2 is 12 weeks and her first one will be when she's like 5 months old when we go to a wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2206354 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 07:32:10 +0000 littlebug 2206354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 months. Hubs and I went to Atlantic City for 3 days. D stayed with my mom and step-dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2206342 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 07:26:00 +0000 Rocker2014 2206342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are leaving her for 1 night in a couple of weeks, so 8 months. She'll be staying at her aunt's house while DH and I go to a concert. We could technically pick her up after, but we won't get back until 3am, so we're going to pick her up in the morning instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2206336 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 07:21:01 +0000 Anagram 2206336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I left LO (while DH stayed home) for a girls' trip when she was 13 months. That trip helped me pump wean.</p> <p>Since then, DH and I have left LO for 3 more long-weekend trips while our parents watched her. That's probably why I'm not stressed at all about leaving her while I'm in the hospital. Also, she's a very chill, go-with-the-flow baby during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2206288 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 06:29:56 +0000 looch 2206288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a trip, never, my son is 4.5 years old!</p> <p>We did leave him overnight with my MIL when we were moving and had to pack, at 22 months. Also here and there with my parents and inlaws, but we've been a drive away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-your-first-overnight-trip-away-from-your-kids#post-2206243 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 02:08:20 +0000 lemondrop 2206243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For #1, it was to have #2.
