When we eventually do take her to visit her family in the UK I'm not sure I'd leave her with anyone there because she won't know them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-the-first-person-you-left-your-lo-with-other-than-your-spouse#post-514541 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 22:58:06 +0000 BeachMama 514541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom. She stayed with us for a week or so after LO was born. At one point DH and I had to go look at an apartment and left her with my mom. I was nervous.....for my mom. LO was super fussy/colicky and I felt bad for anyone I was leaving her with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-the-first-person-you-left-your-lo-with-other-than-your-spouse#post-514259 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 20:01:38 +0000 matador84 514259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A close friend who is also a mom </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-the-first-person-you-left-your-lo-with-other-than-your-spouse#post-514236 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 19:45:53 +0000 runsyellowlites 514236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom at 5 weeks... my mom is the only one she has stayed with and it'll be awhile before we allow anyone else to take her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-the-first-person-you-left-your-lo-with-other-than-your-spouse#post-514229 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 19:41:14 +0000 sera_87 514229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mom when he was a week old - i was just running DH to work and LO was sleeping anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-the-first-person-you-left-your-lo-with-other-than-your-spouse#post-513939 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:40:58 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 513939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mom and MIL, both during the first week when I needed to go to the doc.

But she was asleep and we just walked around the block so I don't count that. When we go to Mass in mid Feb we'll leave her with my parents while we have a date night. That's the first time we'll really leave her. She'll be three months. My in laws want us to leave her with them but we won't. They smoke and honestly we don't trust them to follow my rules about protecting the baby from smoke if we're not there. </p>
