To each thier own but from my experience the earlier you do it the better, for you and your child. The longer you leave it to leave them the harder it gets as a mum I feel, you grow this unnecessary guilt inside you. My 1st the first time we left him was nearly 1 years old and only because I had hospital scans to attend to, he cried the entire time. My second I've left him from 5 months - when I started bottle feeding bcs bfeeding didn't allow it, and he's a happy jolly baby with anyone and everyone. My 1st still causes a scene for 10 mins if we leave him for my scans/dinners etc.

2.5 years old lol xx

@lovemyboys8 awww that's lovely atleast you make time for each other in the day I think because noah is so long he sleeps and it seems like 5 minutes🙈 xxx

6,3 & 1 🤣🤣 for night out. I’m a house hermit though. Nothing wrong with having a little break if you can x

@nicolemariehooperxo, yeah all depends how I feel when he’s here as I might change my mind 😂 xx

The first time we left ethan he was 3months old and that was so we could go out for a meal for our anniversary. I've seriously thought about ringing my mum this morning to have the boys because I feel like death warmed up but as my mum can't drive I'd have to take them to her etc so we're just having a pyjama day instead. But mum's having both the boys next Wednesday because we are off to Cardiff for my belated birthday present (My birthday was the day before Charlie was born) Charlie will be 5 weeks then. It's up to you when you leave them just make sure your comfortable and with someone you completely trust! Xx

Thanks ladies 😁😁😁😁 x

@nicolemariehooperxo thanks bbe and so do you bbe i know its ganna be hard becoz hes your 1st has well but he will be fine bbe and so will you its good for you and your partna to have time to your selfs as well bbe to keep the romance in your realtionship coz babys can be a straing on a realtionship bbe xxx

@nicolemariehooperxo I'm not even joking he is at the door banging it shouting mama 😂😂 and yeah they do I mean I Dunno if my mum isn't fun or something 😂 and yeah I was when I first went out and he didn't even wake up 😂 xx

@nicolemariehooperxo go for it, you will feel amazing when you get back from a few hours away x

@lovemygirlys enjoy!!! You deserve a break!!! Xxx

@sarah-bradshaw okay, that makes me feel better Noah will be 6 weeks on Wednesday.. yeah that's all I want just a few hours to go for a meal or something! My mom would take a bullet for Noah so I know he'll be safe! X

@nicolemariehooperxo yer bbe plus my mums having both of them so i know there in really good hands hunni ita coz im goi g to my oh house for 2 nights coz i havnt had a brake xxx

@elletaylor ahhh okay.. That's quite soon then! But I agree you do need your time.. you don't really spend much quality time together when they're babs.. all my time goes on Noah 🙈 xxx

Calvin was 6 weeks when we went out for a meal, left him with his grandma and grandad for just over 3 hours, he was fine, they were fine and we had a lovely meal that was still hot, don't feel bad a few hours away is needed at times x

@jodiedillon3 hahaha!! 😂😂 having a fit! 🙈 they do get bored quickly even at Noah age mind you he can just sleep I suppose! Yeah I know... saying that I'll be on the phone every 5 mins! 😂😂 xxxx

My little man is due 7th Nov and me and OH still planning on going to his Christmas party for a few hours on 21st Dec. I’m breastfeeding so no drink for me but still need ‘our time’ together x

@lovemygirlys 2 nights??? I couldn't do that!! Suppose it's different with your second? Maybe? X

@kayteamay yeah I know we haven't made time for each other at all (which is fine Noah is no1 priority) but it would be nice 🙈 xxx

@nicolemariehooperxo its only for a few hours bbe you need a brake as well bbe i havnt had a brake since kj has been born thats y i have waited till shes 3 months for me to go away for 2 nights hunni xxx

@nicolemariehooperxo yeah that's it ! I honestly wish I would of left him a little more when he was younger because he dosesnt mind an hour without me now but anything over that he is having a fit and sometimes appointments take longer than an hour so he gets mad with my mum shouting muma muma because he has realised I have gone and he is bored of my mum 😂 so if your ready at doesn't hurt to have an hour away jist for lunch or something it's very important to spend time with your oh with out the baby too and I think it benefits in the long run in case there is a time you need to be away for a hour for the doctors or anything like that xx

@nicolemariehooperxo, then go for it! If you feel you are ready! You need time for just you and your partner x

@lovemygirlys I feel bad in a way cus Noah is only 5weeks old! But it would only be for a few hours I would never leave him overnight yet!! I'll wait till he has a routine for that xxx

@jodiedillon3 ahhh okay.. never thought of it like that... I suppose whilst they're young they know you're gone but don't? If you know what I mean? 😂 I know I'd be checking on him every 5 mins not that I would need to with my mom! 🙈 xxx

this is the 1st time im going to be away from kj and shes 3 months old bbe it depends on you really hunni when you fill up to it xxx

It whenever you feel ready really ! I went out for an hour when Harvey was a month old only because my oh was moaning he wanted to take me to dinner on my birthday I swear I never ate so fast in my life and I was having a heart attack 😂 but tbh it's better when there younger because if you time it right they just sleep and you get a few hours I have had to start leaving Harvey now he is one to go to scans and stuff and he isn't impressed and gets upset so that's my fault for not leaving him 😑 xx

@kayteamay yeah I have a couple of family members I'd be more than happy to leave him with, I wouldn't leave him overnight yet just for a few hours xxx

I think it depends on you. Is there someone you trust enough? Me and my husband never go out as we don’t trust anyone and the only person we trust lives over 2 hours away 😂 we’ve had one night away from the kids in the last few years and that was our wedding night 😂
