DH is 40 next March, would really love to treat him to a night away from the DCs. We have never stayed overnight before apart from when DS2 was born (even then we put DS1 to bed before going to hospital!). So need a bit of encouragement really...
I could ask my parents to come and babysit. DS1 will be 3 so I think he'll be fine. But DS2 will be only 11mo and still BF, and although I sincerely hope he'll be sleeping through the night by then, it's not guaranteed...
So, any tips for leaving them overnight? Would I need to get DS2 used to taking a bottle? (With DS1 I never bothered with a bottle. But he has only just started accepting milk from a cup at 2.5!) Or would he be likely to accept a cup if he was hungry in the middle of the night? What if he cried and cried because he wanted mummy?
Or am I worrying far too much about what other people probably do all the time? (answer = yes, I imagine I am!)
