With DD1 it was when she was 28m to deliver her baby sister. For DD2 it will be when she's almost one; fingers crossed! We're planning a overnight stay for our anniversary.

13 months for DS (LO1). An overnight with the grandparents so we could enjoy a night out. With DD, 10 months--we had to travel for a funeral. Just one night. All went well both times.

15 months- we left her at my parents house while we went to a wedding. I think that's the only time. I've been away overnight one other time. But I BF until 20 months which I think makes it less relaxing to be away overnight.

It's coming up in October, when she is 13 months old. I have a 2 night conference to attend. When I agreed to go it seemed like a great opportunity. Now thinking about it makes me want to cry.

Not until 14 months for DD when i stayed overnight before my friends wedding. It wasn't until 19 months when we both went away for the weekend sans kids

First night away was at 9 weeks... And probably 3-4 times since then. I feel like a wild woman compared to everyone else's answers!!

For #1, it was to have #2. No plans yet for an overnighter. Maybe early next year, maybe not.

For a trip, never, my son is 4.5 years old!
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.

I think I left LO (while DH stayed home) for a girls' trip when she was 13 months. That trip helped me pump wean.
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.

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.

8 months. Hubs and I went to Atlantic City for 3 days. D stayed with my mom and step-dad.

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.
DD2 is 12 weeks and her first one will be when she's like 5 months old when we go to a wedding.

I was away for a weekend when DS was 22 months. And he stayed with DH.
If we lived near any of his grandparents I'm sure he would go for sleepovers but this is not the case.

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!

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.

First one night she stayed with friends for a wedding DH and I went to, when she was 20 months. It was great!
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!
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!

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.
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.

We left my son when he was 20 months old with his grandparents overnight, so we could go out for Valentine's Day

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.

Two weeks ago when DD was almost 5 months. She stayed with my parents while DH and I went to an out of town wedding for 3 days.

5.5 months I went out of town for a work confrence, but DH was with her. We are hoping to both do an overnight together when she's one.

We went away for a night for our anniversary when LO was 16 months. 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!

The first time is going to be next weekend! We are just doing one night away. She is 20 months.

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.

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

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!

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.
