Sleeping out

It’s whenever you’re ready honestly.. but for me it was at 3 months as I needed help because of my health

Our plan is 6 months but I’d trust them to do it now (2 months). My parents are amazing with her but I would not trust my in laws for a couple years. Just depends on how good they are with your baby & if your baby will take a bottle / eat from them

I think my little ones were each about a year old when their grandma (my mil) watched them at our house so we could go away for a night. They are 3 (almost 4) and 2 now and have both spent the night at their grandma's but the youngest didn't seem all that comfortable with going to sleep there so we decided we'll wait awhile before we try again. My mil is the only one I'd let them stay with at this point probably.

My 4 year old didn't have her first overnight without me or dad until she over 2.5 and that was only because I went into labor with our second. Our closest family is over 4 hours away and that definitely plays a big part in the lack of sleepovers for both of them

My baby’s 11 months and I haven’t yet because he still breastfeeds overnight but it’s fine whenever you feel it’s helpful to you!

Whenever you’re ready. I honestly don’t think I’ll be ready for a while (I have a 2 month old) it will probably be when her dad convinces me to

Baby boy is 13 months and I’m still not ready 🥲 so pretty much whenever you’re comfortable

We have decided there will be no sleepovers or unsupervised time until after our daughter turns 5 years old, just because those first few years are going to be so crucial for her health as she has Tetrology of Fallot (complex and serious heart defect)

My first started going over night to my sisters at 7 months almost once a week for a bit because I was exhausted. She was EBF and I would get up to pump but got to sleep in. My now 7 month old just started taking bottles so I’m hoping they can go for a sleepover soon to my sisters. It’s such a help to have a night to just sleep without having to keep an ear open all night for a cry. Hoping the hubby and I can finally do a date night too. And once this second one weans herself, hubby and I are taking a trip just the two of us!! Can’t wait!

Like above when you’re comfortable, but I think my son was around 2 months when he went to my sisters for the first time! Obviously fully trust my sister and my family so had no issues there :) and if you don’t feel ready for them to be away for a night, start out by just going out for a few hours or the day

@Frayere so glad you replied this as I’ve let her stay tonight when she was only Meant to be there for a few hours! (I dropped loads more things off) I was second guessing myself with the replies thanks girl!

@Elloese ah that’s ok!! Enjoy your night! It gets easier, my son loves going for sleepovers and it’s so good for them and for you!🥰

@Elloese enjoy your night!! You deserve it

There is no right or wrong answer here. My 2.5 year old has never slept over with my parents. He's had full days with them when he's had a nap, but he's always been home by dinner.
