Our DS is 4 and a half months old and I am not ready to leave him with anyone just yet.

We go to a friends place for dinner sometimes but they have kids so they are ok that we get there a bit early so that I can feed him and get him to sleep at the same time as I would at home, he sleeps quite happily on a kids foldout lounge in the room we are in and then just before his last feed for the night we go home. They only live 5mins away so we get him home, feed him and straight into bed. That seems to work for us at the moment.

Most other invites at the moment we decline though. I am over worrying what other people think...they don't have to try to calm a screaming baby who is overtired/overstimulated!
