Just a few hours for the very occasional date. We aren't very good at leaving him yet! He's 17 months.

24 hrs when they were 9 weeks old for a wedding. Since then, we've left them a couple times for a couple hours after they've gone to bed.

8 days when LO was 26 months old. It was our delayed honeymoon/babymoon. My sisters watched him for the week, and he did really well. The longest we have been away from both kids is overnight. LO2 had his first sleepover at my in-law's house a few weeks ago. Surprisingly it went smoothly.

Just an overnight, with us both leaving LO at the same time. Each of us has had work trips where we were away for 4+ days.

We left her with my mom for 2.5 hours last night. I was so worried she'd wake up and be inconsolable because she was hungry. She slept the entire time though.

For C, Dh and I went to Florida for a week and she stayed at home with her grandparents. With J, the longest we have been away is 4 hours when my sister took her for the evening last night . She's only 2 weeks old though

Last weekend, we went away for 48 hours. She is 2 and my mom came and stayed at our place. Prior to that we went to a wedding overnight and left her at my parents house when she was 1. DH has been gone longer but I'm always home with her.

When he was about 6 months we went away Thurs - Mon. That was the longest we've both been away. It was hard to leave but once we got to our destination it was heaven!
We are also away this weekend, Friday - Sunday. He is 13 months.

I think for me it was 4-5 nights a couple times for work/fun. DH has been away from her for 5 nights often.

2 nights and 3 full days. He has serious separation anxiety currently, so it'll be a while before we both take off again.

The longest for me has probably been 6-8 hours? I've never been away from her overnight yet. My husband has been away 5 days, fairly often, traveling for work! Together, the longest we've both been away is probably 3-4 hours.

The longest I've been away from LO1 was about 48hrs while I was in the hospital with LO2. My husband was home with her though and she visited every day. The longest I've been away from LO2 is 12 hrs due to work.

We had our first weekend away this summer! We left early Friday morning and came back Sunday afternoon. He's three. Before that it had only been overnight dates, typically not even 24 hours!
However, they took a trip to visit his family last summer and were gone nine days. I had to stay home for work/school. So I've personally been away from him for nine days.

I take elementary kids to 5 day 4 night camp every year. 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!

We went to Mexico for 4 nights and he stayed with my parents. He cried when we came back because he wanted to stay longer.

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!

Never overnight! 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?)

We went on a 6 day 5 night trip but didn't see him until the sixth night due to travel back home past bedtime. My mom watched him while we were gone. We haven't been away yet since ds2, he's three months.
