DD was well over a year old the first time I let her be babysat, it was only for an hr and I fretted the whole time. DS1 was much younger - but that was because of neccessity (I hated it) and even now (he is two on sat) he isn't often babysat. DS2 - mum has suggested she could babysit so DH and I could go to the movies or somethhing, but I am not ready for that at all. Luckily after the first two, mum now realises that this is me and doesn't push the issue.
Mind you i have also had comments about how I hold my babys excessively - from many different sources. Maybe they are right, I just don't know if I could hold them any less - If I need my hands free I use my sling.
Oh, and I can count on one hand the number of people I feel I can leave any of my kids with - sadly for my MIL, she is not one of the people (although we actually get along really well, I just don't like the way she interacts with children in general).
