My oldest didn't until 2yo but he was a terrible sleeper and I felt bad pushing that on someone else. My youngest had his first sleepover at 4ish months. They are now 1yo and 3yo and sleep over at my parents for 2-4 days in a row every 6 weeks or so

My oldest was like at 9 m, but my youngest still hasn't, and he's nearly 1. My oldest also had night terrors, so it makes it hard for me to let my youngest try even sleepovers.

Hey! I think it’s mostly in regards to your baby ! If she’s ready then she feels safe! My baby stayed with her grandparents at 2 years old and cried when it was time to leave lol

My son started at 2. He was a horrible sleeper prior so I didn’t want him upset if I wasn’t there in the middle of the night. Had to get him ready for baby sis so we started sleep over and lucky we did because I was stuck in hospital with baby sis for 9 days.

My 4.5 year old still has never stayed the night in someone else's house without me or my husband there too. When I went into labor with my second, my parents stayed with her at our house. All our family lives far away though. At the end of the day do what is best for your family and your child

See I had so much fear with this topic with my babies. As dad and I are no longer together and went through a custody battle unfortunately bc he was a drug addict. And his family is no better.. I couldn’t speak on behalf of a good situation but on a situation like mine (where it had to be forced upon the children) I would fight until the day I die to only let the children go when they are able to speak for them selves on what they want to eat, drink, call mom etc, and also when they are able to tell the person they want to go home. Hope this helps in a way. Xo

My baby was only about 4 months old when her grandpa started keeping her over nights you will know when your baby is ready 🩷

If you’re 100% comfortable with the other party and you are confident they would call you if your baby is crying, uncomfortable, wants mommy etc.. then go for it for a “break” because we all need one babe. Especially single moms. (Yes moms in a marriage and relationship do too) Hope this helps in a way. Xo

My oldest was around a year when he stayed at my sisters for a night when we had a wedding but I don’t think stayed at my parents until over 18 months old. I breastfed him and it was just harder to be away overnight. With our second she was adopted and was mostly formula fed so stayed at my parents at 2 months old for the first time. I don’t think either of them ever spent more than a single night away from us though until this past month when our third was born and they stayed at my parents for two nights. My son just turned 3 in October and daughter was 7 months in October.
