Anon as might be revealing my identify.
DS is just over 4 weeks old. He's combination fed (difficult birth recovery meant I expressed and DH fed him at first).
DH is fantastic and today I left them together to go shopping and out for lunch with a friend. Was out for about 5 hours in total.
I had a lovely time and felt like 'me' again. Was pleased to be reunited with DS but already planning my next outing.
Have had major judgement from two friends, and a neighbour I bumped in to who said they couldn't contemplate leaving their babies at such a young age. Neighbour said I was 'brave' for leaving baby at home with DH and her DH would never have coped
I feel guilty and like a terrible mother! And very selfish.
Aibu in needing time away from DS when he's still a baby?
