I have only left josh 3 times and he is 4 1/2 months. But I enjoy taking him places. 2 times were in his first 10 days cuz I was spending time with dewitt. (ugh) lol. I don't see any problem with leaving garret with your mom or whoever for a couple of hours. I know I need my me time and my sister will play with josh for a few minutes while I shower or jump on here or whatever. Everyone needs me time! So don't feel bad!

Well, I am not a mommy, but I am going to answer anyway!Lol.
I feel that it is okay whenever you are ready. Because if you aren't ready, you will know, if he isn't ready you will know, and if you have someone that you really trust to leave him with then it is no big deal. You do need some alone time, ya know.
Overnight is a different story! Everyone I know who has kids didn't leave their baby with someone else overnight for a long, long time! Too hard!
But anyway, yeah whenever you feel that you are ready is fine.

Thanks girls! Oops sorry I didnt mean only moms could answer! But thanks alot girls I wouldnt leave him overnight no way.. But sometime I will have to end up when the dad gets to..

Girl its hard river was gone for 5 nights and 6 days I missed him like crazy but it was also great to feel like a teen again and come and go as I pleased but im sooo glad I have my lil monkey back!

Lol, I let my cuz watch jaydyn (n the same house) so I could catch up on sleep n the beginning---but ive left her with her twice all day so I could go paint at our new house since the fumes...
