Leaving baby overnight
Show your support
I would have major anxiety too if whoever I left her with lied about anything. Is there anyone else they could stay with, that you trust a little more? I’m happy for mine to stay with my mum because I give her strict instructions and she follows me and gives me regular updates too xx
No advice on this because when my baby was 6 months old, I was in a wedding that was child free but luckily the venue was a two hour drive so even though I didn’t head back home, my partner attended the wedding and left halfway into the reception so that he could drive back to be with baby overnight. It just was the better decision for us at that point. Is the wedding close enough for your partner or you to travel back for the night and not stay over where the wedding is?
We started leaving our baby for sleepovers at 6 months but I got regular updates from mine and my partners mum about when he was asleep and what he ate but I knew they could cope if he was sad etc. my MIL took him for a few hours the first time and she texted us after doing everything to say I think baby needs his parents so we left lunch early and he was perfectly fine! I trust our parents a lot as they have so much love for their grandchild and always ask me if stuff is ok to do etc xx
Thanks all for the response. My parents live in another country but I would trust them 100%. My in laws lied about my baby being sick and sleeping well, ultimately I think it was for me not to worry but it now worries me more !
Several times now - since 15 weeks.
That’s a tricky one as you’d rather know for sure. As it’s your baby. And you of course want to know. As you said. It may have been them just trying to go give you a night off and unintentional to make you then get more anxious by it. I would just have a word and say how important it is. You have to right to explain and they need to understand. Then it’s done and they know.
I haven’t yet but I’m doing it for the first time on Sunday 🥹🥹😀
What did they lie about? Was it just to ease your anxiety? I’ve not done it yet. But understand, as hard as it will be. That I can not control all situations.
