How old was your child/baby when you first left them with someone?

[Stillmonday]

Just curious. I don't think there's a right or wrong but know some people have really strong opinionated views on the topic of when to leave a baby!

Still haven't left my 7 month old, and dont plan to anytime soon. Strongly suffering with pfb syndrome

Other than DH or nursery, I haven't ever left DS with anyone else. He's nearly 7 now. He's autistic and there's nobody near by that I'd trust to meet his needs yet.

Pretty early, left DS1 with parents when he was 3 weeks to go to a Halloween party.

Left him with DH for hen weekend in Miami when he was 15 weeks or so.

DH would have been somewhere around the first week. I don’t remember exactly as I wouldn’t count that as leaving the baby given they’re with their other parent.

With someone else was with my DMother at 6 weeks when I had to go to my post natal check-up with my consultant and I didn’t want to drag DD into London. Overnight she was 3 months and that was for a wedding.

First one 2 years. Next one 2 weeks.

DS1 at about 3 months, I needed to get to the dentist. Was less than an hour.
DS2 about 2 weeks, dropping DS1 somewhere. 15mins. But it sticks in my head where I was going.

I build up gradually from there. DS1 was left overnight at 7mths, for a Do that I'd committed to months before hand and really wanted to put out of. DS2 was left over night for a wedding at 6mths.
