Just curious 
We don't have family nearby so we haven't left LO overnight.
-
My mom (not local) or our babysitter
-
So far DS (11 months) hasn't stayed overnight with anyone except DH and I. In two weeks my mom will be watching him overnight at our house for the first time. When he's a little older I think I'd be comfortable with him symtaying with some very close friends of mine who also have a baby.
-
So far she has only stayed overnight once, with my parents at their house (5 hours from us, but we were going to a wedding down there). I would definitely trust them or MIL, but the opportunity doesn't really present itself since no one is local.
I would trust many of my mom friends with LOs the same age, but it would have to be a special circumstance since I feel like that's a lot to ask someone. I'd trust any of my sisters too, but not local.
She is 21 months now, so I feel more comfortable than I did when she was tiny (though in retrospect it probably would have been easier then, aside from me having to pump while I was away).
-
Any of our parents or my sister and her husband.
-
a few of our friends. Definitely not our parents! lol
-
My parents. Luckily, they're local.
-
No one. Ha. In October my parents are going to have to learn to do it, though.
-
Either of our parents....or SIL and her husband or my second older sister and her husband.
They all live far away, but we schedule with our parents way in advance--we're about to take our 4th overnight trip without LO in May. The inlaws have watched LO twice and this will be my mom's second time--she's flying in.
-
Either of our parents, my best friends, my bro and his fiance (not local to us), etc. The only people who have are my parents though!
-
Like you, we don't have family nearby so no one at the moment. When he's a lil older, I'd trust my really close friend to keep him overnight. She's helped watch him when he was an infant and totally loves him. She also has 7 nieces and nephews so she's a great aunt. His nighttime sleep can be all over the place, so it's more of I don't want to subject her to his possible "I don't want to STTN tonight" if she's watching him.
-
No one yet...
-
My parents. My brother and SIL, my husband's sister and her husband. And 4 different friends.
-
MIL, my good friend and SIL/BIL.
My parents when there was only one LO.
-
Our parents, or my brother in law in a pinch... but even if we trust them, none of them can handle B if he's determined not to sleep, and he sleeps best in his own bed. So we won't ask anyone to keep him overnight unless it's a huge emergency!
-
We've only left DS with his nanny. I would trust my mom or sister but neither has spent enough time with them at this point.
-
My mom or travelgirl.
-
We haven't left her overnight with anyone yet but honestly the only person I'd trust is my MIL.
-
My IL's. They live close by and have kept them several times overnight. I would trust my parents (who don't live close) but I also know they would complain about it a lot more
-
My mom and sister (who are local). I would trust my in laws, but they have two grandchildren who live with them. That's too much for them! If the grandkids weren't there, I would.
-
I'd trust anyone in my family- parents and siblings. Also my best friend who has had him overnight before.
-
At this point....really only my mom, although we've never left her overnight yet. I'm sure my in laws would love to, but I don't fully trust them.
-
My parents and brother if we're in town with them. When I go into labor, we're contacting our former daycare family because we trust them a lot. They have one of their daycare kids who does overnights with them already. It's enough for us to feel secure in them watching LO while I'm in the hospital.
-
My MIL, my SIL, any of my mom friends, honestly. As far as "trust" goes, i don't trust any of them to harm her, so she'd be fine
-
My ILs, plus either D's siblings.
-
We haven't left DD yet but I would trust our parents, my sister in laws and my aunts. And probably a few of my friends.
-
i would trust any of our parents, my sister (not local), or one of LO's daycare teachers. and a few close friends that are local.
-
Just about anyone. Overnight is the time I'm least concerned about. Is that odd? LO turned 2 earlier this year. Both sets of grandparents have watched her and she has stayed until 1am at DCP's house. We also asked friends to do it but both our LOs got sick.
The tough thing is she wakes around 5am. When people hear that they change their tune about offering to keep her for the evening and want us to pick her up in the middle of the night after our date.
-
My mom. That's it.
-
Nada.
-
Right now no one. But she's only two months.
-
My parents.
-
My mom, MIL, and my SIL. Haven't done it yet but my mom took care of LOovernight once in our home (I had an important exam the next day).
-
My in laws and our babysitter
-
For me, there is a difference between "trust" and "preference". In a pinch, I mostly trust all our close loved ones to protect our daughter and keep her safe. However, she's only spent the night with my parents. I guess I find them to be the most mindful and on top of it. I am entirely at ease when she's in their care, overnight.
-
My parents
-
anyone in my family or DH's could do it, but i prefer my parents and then his.
-
My son is picky, I was talking about a sitter in general and he was like ummm, no baby sitter!
I'd leave him with anyone that could deal with having to lie next to him the whole night, lol.
-
My parents (which mostly means my mom) and probably my sister and her fiance.
-
My mom (not local) and I have 2 sitters who have stayed with him overnight.
I would also trust my sister but it hasn't happened yet.
