Guilt leaving baby overnight

Ladies I know I'm getting stuck in my own head so just looking for some words of reassurance. Partner and I are off for a little date night tomorrow. Dinner and cinema. Really looking forward to just having some quality time together. Little one will be staying overnight at my Mum's, who lives 20 minutes down the road. She dotes on him and he absolutely adores her. Has so much fun there. But I still feel a bit of guilt but also like I'm going to miss him so much 😂 Please someone tell me it'll be OK! Should add that he's stayed overnight there before so its not the first night he's been away but I just feel this anxiousness in the lead upto it! Just from being separated from my baby, absolutely nothing to do with my Mum who I trust with my life

I’d love a mum who could take my baby for the night / someone who I trust with my life. I have to pay for childcare if I need it. Relax 😊 and enjoy your evening away x

I felt the same leaving my daughter with her grandparents to go to a friend’s birthday party - didn’t know what to talk to my husband about and ended up just sharing pictures of her with each other all night! So my only advice is to focus on the quality time and enjoy your time not being “mum” before going back and making a fuss over your boy the next day.

Honestly a controversial opinion but I LOVE when other people have my little girl and I get a bit of time to myself. It means I can fully rest and have time to myself so I can be the best mum ever to her. Sometimes we need to put ourselves first to be the best we can for our babies!! My little girl has stayed with my parents and my in laws, and she’s having a sleepover at her aunties tomorrow - she absolutely loves it!!🫶🏼 she gets so spoilt and whilst I do miss her, I know she is so well looked after and that if anything happens, I’ll be called. Try to relax and enjoy your time with your partner. You need your time together just as much💗💗💗💗
