When did you leave baby with anyone other than partner

Mainly family members but don’t remember what age 😅 I had my second baby a month ago and my birthday is coming up next month and my second sister is offering to watch my two boys so I can go out with my husband 🥺

Only really left for appointments with my mum. Then when I went back to work after a year my mum looked after him 3 days a week and my best friend did it a couple of times. Never been away over night but will be soon when giving birth to bubba 2 😩 x

He was 18 months old, and it was with my mother-in-law. I have trust issues, but they're well founded. I don't know what I'm going to do with I have my twins in June 🙃

It took me ages and I still don’t like to now I’m stressing over leaving him when he will be 15 months to have my next baby 🙈

When my oldest turned 4 years old that’s when I let him stay with his grandparents

I had to go back to work at 10w pp so that's when my baby started daycare

Not for very long in the beginning and only with family members. To be fair I probably would have left it till she was alot older than 3 months but I had medical appointments that I had to attend. I don't think it was a bad thing I did though, otherwise I might never have left her with anyone!

I left him for the first time at 6 months with my mum for an hour with my first baby, but never left him overnight/ a long period of time until I went to give birth to my second. He was 18 months x

I haven’t actually left my youngest baby with anyone other than my partner yet as there’s been no reason too, and she’s literally a Velcro baby and at the moment she’s going through stages of certain people who she likes sometimes can hold her and she’ll cry her eyes out until I hold her again.

None of my children have been left with anyone other than dad till they were almost 2..and even then it was only for short periods of timw

Had to leave my 10 day old baby with my sisters. Had to go to the hospital - I was hemorrhaging blood from my uterus because I had placenta stuck to my lining, had to go in for surgery and blood transfusion. 😢 So grateful my sisters were there for us and glad to be alive and there for my now 15 month old. 🥰💙🩵

8w. Date night. MIL. Baby was already asleep. I usually put baby to sleep and we go out. He doesn’t wake for at least 2.5hrs and if he does, she’ll just attend to him before we get home. We have monthly date nights they are non-negotiable for our relationship and my MH. I also think it’s healthy for them to form good bonds w other family members besides hubby and me. My babies didn’t really have separation anxiety we have a big family and the babies got passed around alot.
