Leaving baby for 1st time

Next weekend, it's possible I'll have to leave my baby for a few hours (with her dad, my partner) bur even so, I'm so anxious to be apart form her. She'll be 6 weeks, nearly 7. When did everyone leave their babies for the first time and how did you know you felt okay doing it?

Did you ignore text messages for a while after giving birth (people trying to see baby)

2nd baby

Has anyone had their second yet? Or pregnant with their second? I haven’t told anyone yet as very early on. I always feel like this is the worst part, when you haven’t told anyone and it can feel so isolating. How’s everyone holding up?
