She was 4 months and she was with her godparents. I was a wreck 😭😭😭 i called and texted every 5 minutes they asses stopped responding 🤣🤣😭😭

He was 4 months old and he was with my mom, I was anxious but generally okay

@Keona 😭😭😭

@Keona @Annie for how long were they with the sitter? 🥴

@Kenn about 3 hours

unorthodox for sure but ours was 3 weeks old and with my MIL and only for about an hour and a half so we could run some errands it was too cold to want to bring baby with. I was worried but i knew she was a perfectly capable sitter so that eased my nerves a lot i mostly just missed my baby the whole time

@Maddy nooo that doesn’t sound unusual! it was very thoughtful that you decided to keep the baby in a warm home! thanks for sharing your experience

5 months for about 2.5 hours with my mom and sister. I missed him but I was okay. But I trust them more than anyone in the world

It’s difficult but you need to get a camera. You need to show the babysit that you care about anything happens to your baby. No matters if it’s your family too. They should understand. It’s difficult as a mum live your baby like that. Get a camera that you can control with WiFi

3 months with my parents.. I don’t think I would let him stay over night with anyone else until around a year maybe and he won’t ever stay with a baby sitter it will always be a family member or very close friend. But if we’re talking about day time for a few hours I left him at 6 days old to go and have a pedicure with my best friend x

For very short periods at 18 months when I was visiting family and he was asleep. That wasn't really difficult because I was still there. Next time was 2.5 when I left him with my dad while giving birth to my second child. That was hard.

I left my daughter with my mom at a week old if that’s counts? A sitter that I barely knew was at 12 months old

2 weeks but I trusted them with everything in me they are my bf’s parents they are great with him and super respectful but now my son is almost 5 months and I won’t leave him with anyone else lol
