Leaving baby for a few nights

I’ll be leaving my 6 month old baby for a few nights whilst me and my partner go on a trip together (pre booked). I feel absolutely awful about the situation and I still have weeks until we go. I feel like the worst mum in the world and my mind is running wild. She’s been away from me for a night before and she was absolutely fine but the thought of a few nights is just upsetting me and I’m losing sleep over it😩 any advice 🙁

I went abroad for 5 nights at 15 weeks and 3 nights at 20 weeks. It’s like ripping off a band aid, just got to get it done. Baby was absolutely grand and don’t think she even knew I’d gone and I had the best sleeps I’ve had in months.

I always find I worry and feel guilty up until I go then although you'll obviously think about them, you'll have such a lovely time that it will all be worth it. The worry kind of goes once you are there

@Hayley - I’ve seen a few of your posts with you saying your little one is a very bad sleeper. How do you feel leaving her with people knowing she’s so bad? We’ve had offers to help over night before but because of how bad my girl is I feel too guilty to put someone else through that 😂😂 xx

@Charlotte it was her dad at nanny and grandads

@Hayley oh I see! My husband has had her a couple of nights but wow he struggled haha - haven’t felt comfortable leaving her with anyone else yet

My girl is a bad sleeper too. My mum has only had her once overnight. Husband has never had her. I have a night away planned in a few weeks with my friend though and can't wait x
