Anybody else feel how I do?

You have absolutely every right to feel how you feel my son is 3 and my daughter is 6 m and I still haven’t allowed either of them to stay the night anywhere without me

Is there a particular reason they are looking after her? Maybe it is too early for you if you’re feeling that way? Is it an option to go get her back sooner?

Everybody feels differently on this subject. Personally I couldn’t do it. Maybe an overnight stay or few days may have been better to start?

Thanks for the responses there’s no particular reason I needed a break is all I’ve had her 24/7 since leaving the hospital and feel myself just needing a little break.

Well there’s nothing wrong with having a break. You can’t pour from an empty cup. But just follow your instincts, if it feels too much then just go get her. I definitely would’ve struggled with a week at that age, my daughter’s nearly 3 and I’d find a week too long now even. But everyone is different, be kind to yourself and you know she’s being well cared for by family.

I would start with a non overnight stay first. Do what feels comfortable. Imo a week is alot at any age.

Personally, I don't think I could even if I weren't EBF. I haven't been away from my 3 younger children for more than 3 hours twice a year.. I do understand needing a break, but a week would break me.
