Leaving baby for date night..

At what she would you feel comfortable leaving LO with a babysitter for the evening? LG is 9 weeks and I don’t feel ready yet, but thinking once she’s in a bit more of a routine maybe 4-5 months.. Just interested in others thoughts. Very much looking forward to some one on one time with my husband (and a medium rate steak that I don’t have to cook) 😂!

We left our boy at 6 weeks with my mum for a couple of hours! Just 7-10, he slept the whole time 😅

Iv just left my 7 week old with my MIL for a night, had to travel to take my grandad home ( 3 hours away) he was fine!

We left our little girl with my brother and sister in law at 10 days old and we went to a restaurant that was 5 mins down the road for our anniversary 😅 we were gone for a max of 3 hours as I felt like something was missing haha x

I left my july baby (second baby) at 4 weeks with my in laws for a date night for my birthday. My first baby I think was about 3 months x

9 weeks and I’ve left the little one with the mother in law a handful of times for a couple hours a time whislt husbands at work. Next Friday we are leaving her for the first time for a date night and she’s going to go with everything for an overnight. Just in case. I’m a lot More relaxed about leaving her compared to husband, but my mother in law is going to have her for a day or two a week when I go back to work so want them both to build that relationship from now.

With my first I think I left him for the day with my cousin in laws whilst we went to the spa. He was about a month or so old. I personally found it easier leaving him earlier as he didn’t know I was leaving him. Rather than when he was a few months older and actually wanted me and knew when I was leaving 😂🙈 This time my boy is 8 weeks old I’ve only left him for a couple of hours with my mum whilst I’ve went to the gym. It’s my birthday at the end of the month so it will be the first time leaving him all day whilst we go for a date day. We really wanted a date night but this time round I’m more bothered about leaving him than with my 1st 😂

I left my 5 week old for 4 hours whilst I was a bridesmaid at my friends wedding. My husband and baby joined us after the ceremony. I felt lost! He’s breast fed too (but takes pumped milked when needed) so my boobs were very sore 😂😂. I hated leaving him to be honest and he’s my second baby. We left my first for dates at a few months then over night at 9 months and I felt ready then.

Thanks all. I’m sure my mum or MIL would love to have her so might bring the date night forward a bit ❤️

@Caroline do it! You need your time too, happy mum happy baby ❤️

I left my boy with my mum at about 6 weeks (he’s 10 weeks now) for the night and it was so needed 🤣 I trust my mum a lot and would only leave him with mine or my partners parents x

I left both of mine from a couple weeks for a few hours old with mum or MIL. Find it easier second time as they’ve done it all recently and I want time with my hubby and also with my toddler alone. Everyone is different and has different circumstances, do what feels comfortable for you ☺️

Mines 8 weeks and I don’t feel ready yet, meant to be seeing Matt rife on the 21st but selling the tickets instead cus I’m not ready to be away from her!

Don’t think I’d ever be ready to go see Matt Rife 🤣🤣
