Leaving baby in house?

This is probably the wrong place to be asking, and it's really WWYD because I am just not sure and need views from more experienced people!

Due in a few weeks time (our first). DP will have to go back to work (offshore) a few weeks after. We live in a flat across the road from a park where I take the dog last thing at night for a wee. Usually out of the house for 5 minutes.

There are no neighbours who could reliably do this for me and no family nearby and while I know that really, I can't just lock up and go out for 5 minutes (can I?) - the alternative is I have to wake and dress a baby and take her out late at night in all weathers?

Is there some solution I'm not seeing? (or is it just wishful thinking that she won't actually be awake and screaming anyway at 11pm, so no problem)?

Use a sling, and wear your baby.

Yep, a sling is the answer. Pop baby in sling, walk dog.
