Anxiety leaving baby

so we need to go to the store to get a few things and my husband said he'd go but there are certain things I need that he doesn't know which ones and he asked if I can go with him and my MIL can watch her which I know she's do a good job at but it makes me so scared to leave her. I feel like it's to early. Does anyone feel like this or left there baby yet. I want to help him but I'm so scared to leave her

    Why not take the baby with you?

    I think leaving for 30minutes is fine. DH and I ran errands the other day for an hour.

    But why can't you take her?

    We left baby with DH brother and his wife when she was 12 days old so we could go have lunch. It was a nice break and made coming back to her even more special.

    I know exactly how you feel, I was the same way with my first. It will be ok though!!!!! If it causes you too much anxiety though I'd just take the baby with you!

    I left mine with my husband at about 2 weeks and then left her once with my mom at 2 weeks. Both were fully capable of caring for her, but I had a lot of anxiety too. It's getting better when I leave her since then for brief periods of time, but I still miss her so much.

    I know how you feel, I can't even leave him for an hour. My mom kept offering that she watches him, but I don't feel safe, I trust that she can care for him, but I know I will not be at ease!

    I was like that with my first but my mom made me run to the store. She said the longer I went, the harder it would be. Not sure if that is true but I had horrible anxiety leaving him until I had my second child. It's nice to not have that as badly this time.

    I left DD with my MIL for half an hour to run an errand with DH when she was about 4 days old, she slept the entire time.
    We left her again for 2 hours last night so we could go to dinner for my birthday, again slept the entire time.
    With my first baby it was hard leaving, first time I just went to go get coffee around the corner and when I realized everything was fine longer trips were much easier.

    Your anxiety is totally understandable. But it might do you a world of good to be away for 30 minutes.
