First babysitter tomorrow!

I had surgery a week ago and I had to leave lo with grandma all day (at our house but I didn't go downstairs) and he did awesome. My mil played with him all day, took him for a walk, rocked him to sleep, fed him, etc. he was probably happy to have a break from boring ol me! I felt like it was a great first step to leaving him with mil more often so i can go to the gym, go shopping, go to the dr, etc.

it's great that you're leaving lo with a familiar face. He'll do great and you will feel great too. Because although we love our babies, its good to have little breaks here and there to realize how much we adore them. Good luck!

I survived leaving my son for 2 whole hours! I am so proud of myself :) It was kinda nice to get out of the house without him... I had forgotten how easy it is to run errands without timing every stop around a baby's schedule of feedings, naps & diaper changes!

At least he will be with grandma! It's a a win win! :) I'm in another country and wish my lo could bond w his grandparents. You are blessed! ;)

I felt the same before I went back to work when ds was 5.5 mths, i cried the whole day before! I was dreading leaving him but it was actually fine & he was grand, he enjoyed being around other people for awhile.

Good luck!

He will be fine :) It's you you should worry about lol

It's good for (responsible) grandparents to have one on one bonding with their grand kids :)
