spending the night

I'm stay at home mom and my baby girl is 7wks. My husband is been asking to let DO spend the night with his parents. I don't have anything against them and I know she will be in good hands but the idea gives me anxiety and I get very emotional. I don't feel ready for that yet. Any suggestions?

    My mom has offered to keep DS overnight so my husband and I can get some sleep (I have been a little under the weather and DH was working out of state all week). I know he'd be fine, but idont know about me! On the other hand, I could use some rest! Sorry I don't have advice!

    If you're not ready, you're not ready. We let DS stay overnight with my parents a couple of weeks ago and it was great--for everyone!! Hubby and I got 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep and LO and his Mimi and Papaw got to spend some QT together! Prior to the sleepover, my DH was the one that was not all for it but in the end gave in to my pleading. He has no regrets and we look forward to doing it again in a few weeks!

    Oh, that's early. If you're not comfortable with it there's absolutely no reason for her to stay the night away from you. If your DH wants some alone time maybe you could just leave her with them for a few hours. Or you could suggest that they come to your house?

    Either way just let you're DH know that you're not comfortable with leaving her just yet. Surely he'll understand.

    Neither grandparents will be keeping DD overnight until 6 months unless its an emergency. I love them dearly, I trust my mom completely and somewhat trust his parents (they've got a zoo of animals) but I am just not comfortable with it.

    we let ds stay at my dad's house early. if you aren't comfortable with it, maybe try it for a few hours during the day if they live close enough so it isn't a long drive for a short stay. Or stay with LO at their house but let them do all the work:)

    I let dd spend the night at her grandma's house when she was about 2 months.  I didn't want to at first but then another mom gave me some good advice.  She said "miss your baby but enjoy your time to yourself and have fun." and I did.  It will be much harder on you than on the baby but if you can do it I say go ahead.

    Smudge spent the night at my mom's at 2 weeks 3 days, and he's going again tomorrow night. My mom really likes taking him, and DH and I like having time to ourselves.

    Do what you feel comfortable with.
