Re: How old was child when you spent your first night away from them?
18 months. First time there was a need/opportunity to be away overnight.
it was for about 15 hrs.
16 months or so. We had weaned at 15 months and prior to that I didn't find the prospect of a getaway at all relaxing if i had to pump, etc.. we got a hotel in chicago and had a lovely weekend.

1 overnight at 3 weeks for a wedding and then another overnight at 3 months for our anniversary. He's spent the night without us a few other times since then.
That depends. DD has never been without either DH or I overnight. She was probably close to a year the first time I was away, but she was still w/ DH. And vice versa...DH has been away, but I've been with her.
We're mostly homebodies anyway and honestly prefer to stay home w/ DD.
I went to my 20-yr HS reunion when DS1 was 4 months old. We left him with MIL & FIL. DH and I left home Fri. night and returned Sun. afternoon. I brought my pump and P&D'd so I could drink.
I got way drunker than I intended to.
23 months. I didn't want to leave her, but her brother had to come out eventually. She was with SO the whole time though.
We left her for 2 weeks with my mom when we went on our honeymoon.
She was 6 months old.

I feel you KJ. I doubt DH and I will ever actually have a night away together until the kid goes off to college.
7 weeks, my cousin was getting married about an hour away. I wanted to drink and sleep?lol. She spends probably at least one night away every 4-5 weeks. Lately it is been more though, DH and I went on vaca for 4 days, and this weekend MIL is taking DD to see SIL at college. I feel bad, but SIL is DD?s BFF, the sun rises and sets in her. I am sure she will have a blast seeing her aunt!

For an emergency - one night at 3 months old.
For work - one night at 13 months old.
For fun - haven't done it yet. Not because I wouldn't; just that money and logistics haven't worked out to do so just yet.
I don't remember the exact time he first spent the night away from us but I know at 3 months old it was for an entire weekend.
At 5 months old he traveled halfway across the country, just him & daddy, for 2 and a half weeks.
