What's the longest you've been away from your LO?

    Just 2 nights! We are going to leave them for 3 nights in a few weeks. I think I could do a week now (they are 2.5 and 5.5) but we just don't have an opportunity like that with grandparent care.

    I have left DS1 for 2 nights, and not until he was about 14 months. About to leave 4 month old DS2 for 2 nights so we can take DS1 camping. Poor second child! DH has been away from them both for 2 weeks for work.

    Almost 2 weeks. I went to Spain with a friend. She was with DH & my MIL. It was really hard and right after the trip I felt like it was too long and I wouldn't leave her for longer than a week again. At the 7 day mark I was missing her so badly it was truly painful and distracted from my trip. But now that time has passed, I'm glad we did the trip the way we did.

    We did try to FaceTime every day which helped but we weren't always able to and that was hard. I think if I were to do it over again I wouldn't set up that expectation for either of us.

    We made a construction paper chain for the number of days I was gone and I know that helped LO.
