Has toddler stayed a night without you?

For NYE my husband wants to take me out and let his parents look after my little one. She's very close to grandparents and they look after her really well. However, I've never spent a night without her. She's 2.5 years old now so I feel like it's ok but I'm anxious. How was your experience and how was little one?

I have seizures so spend time in and out of hospital so my daughter goes to her dad’s mum often. I think as long as little one is seen them in the day and has a constant relationship it’s fine she did cry the first time however it didn’t last long also make sure you are on the same page about communication my daughters nan is great at answering text and calls because I’m anxious 😬 x

My little boy is the same age and he has never spent a night away from me & my husband yet. Think we're going to wait until he is 3 & possibly even longer than that before he sleeps over anywhere.

I let my daughter stay with grandparents when she was about 1.5 and I was anxious at first but really enjoyed the break and sleep and now we try to do it once a month or so. My daughter absolutely loves it! I pack everything she could possibly need or want (extra clothes, pull-ups, stuffed animals) I would send my mom texts throughout the night just checking in then again when I woke up. Now, I finally feel comfortable that I don’t feel the constant urge to check in

Yes, my toddlers have. They did absolutely fine.

We let our daughter stay with her Grandma when she was 1.5. My Mom and her are very close and she had a blast. I made sure to bring her favorite blanket and stuffed animals. She slept through the night fine and only cried for a few minutes when she woke up somewhere "new" in the morning. My Mom did a great job of letting me know how things were going. My husband and I had a nice evening out and then a bit of a hard time at home without her...it was strange the first time. Now she stays overnight every couple months.

Thanks! It's reassuring to know x

Yes my son stayed with my grandparents once so we could have a date night and he did better than I did 😂 I was anxious but he had a good time and loves being at their house!
