My husband and I are attending a wedding out of town, if we leave our Daughter behind I will be away from her for 4 days!!
We can bring her with us, but I would like to know your opinion if 4 days is too long for the baby.
Thanks

Totally up to you, but why cant you just take him/her with you? When my kids were little, I took them EVERYWHERE! But its really up to you as to whether you want to leave her with someone else while youre gone. The baby will be fine.....but will you be?

If you can bring her, I would. I would check with the bride to see if there any babysitters that she could recommend so that you can go to the wedding and enjoy the evening. If you can't bring her, make sure that she is with someone that she knows, like Grandma so that she feels secure. I used to have to travel for work when I had my first son and would be gone for 2-3 days at a time sometimes. My husband and mother-in-law were there to take care of the baby.

Unless you are nursing, I don't think 4 days is too long at all, well as long as you are leaving her with grandparents, at least. Sorry to say, but she really won't know how many days you're gone. I know it's hard, but do it. Don't feel bad, either - it will give you and hubby time to reconnect alone after the baby and to just enjoy each other.

at the beginning, it is not babysitting; that is parenting. he's the daddy. as long as you the two have not got an argument with him being an at domicile dad then I say decide for it. while you're particularly in contact he could cheat on you at the same time as domicile alongside with your newborn you have extra matters you're able to look into. If he's a stay at domicile father then lots of the home household initiatives could fall to him. there is not any reason he cant watch your newborn and sparkling the domicile. fairly some women human beings do it on a daily basis.

4 days is definately not too long. It may just give you the boost of energy you need after having the baby. Time away from the baby is good for you and the baby. As long as you have a trusted caregiver for the child. I hope you enjoy the time, you probably deserve time to yourself and to your husband. Just remember, you will miss her. But the welcome home will be wonderful.

It would be too long for me (my baby is almost 7 months), but you have to decide what feels right for you. It's certainly not unheard of for parents to leave babies that young for a few days. Another idea: bring a sitter with you, grandma or grandpa may be willing to tag along.

At 6 months, 4 days will seem way to long to her. She is still so young and does not quite understand yet that mommy and daddy will be gone for X amount of days and will be coming back. I think it would be too long for her.

I think it's too long. My kids love their grandparents and they are 2 and 4. After about a day, they were asking for us. We were only gone 2 days.

I know 4 days would be too long for me. But I've known moms who left their babies that long and it was fine.
