...and your baby is very clingy and demanding because he's 11 months old, frustrated and not mobile?
He can't sit or use his hands very well, of course I know his ways and can usually keep him amused (very hard work of course), but he screams if anyone other than dp or myself pick him up.
No one can feed him apart from me, not even dp. So I have never left him with anyone and haven't been out since he was born. It's no big deal, but I have an exciting opportunity to go to Europe for a couple of days with dp in November, to which I couldn't really take ds and there's another night in December when we'd really like to go out where I would probably not get in until the small hours.
What do you do? Do I just forget it? Is this the sort of thing for which I could ask about respite?
