Babies: 3 - 6 Months

who babysits?

besides parents, IL, has anyone babysat your LO? Has anyone offered?

i feel LO is still so little to be left with a stranger but at the same time I would want to have a night off and go out just with DH.

Re: who babysits?

  • I just realize no one has offered to keep LO. Haha

    My aunt kept him once because my mom had errands to run. I think my mom was more freaked out than I was.

    I say go for it, as long as you trust them, I don't see why not.

  • I still haven't gone anywhere without my baby (except the OB/GYN and DH kept DS).  I would like to but DS won't take a bottle.  I gave up on trying.

  • Our really good friends have offered to watch DD (they want to have a baby soon so I think it would be good practice LOL, or it may talk them out of it) but we typically go out with them so... they usually cant LOL. but i would definitely have them watch her if we needed a sitter. They are so good with her when they are around her and they love her. I totally trust them =]

    I also gave up on the bottle :(  I now only leave DS for 2-3 hour stretches.

    I have plenty of relatives nearby, so I'm hoping I won't have to leave DS with a "stranger" until he can talk.

  • A couple of friends have offered, but we have only left him with my dad and stepmom. They are my first choice and if they aren't available, I am not sure if I would call my second choice. I'm not ready to leave him with friends.

  • Wow I feel like a bad mom. My friend watches DS while I'm at work; my mom and MIL watch him while I'm in class, and my best friend has watched him too. We have left him overnight twice with my MIL. DH and I need time to ourselves every now and then!
