I suppose it all depends on the relationship with inlaws as to whether people let their kids sleep over... I feel a bit smothered by MIL, as she has EVERYTHING at her house for my daughter (yes, some people will say thats a help...) We see them too much as well, and she is constantly on the subject of letting her stay overnight even though its not necessary, she's TOO eager!
Its totally up to you. Nicholas stayed overnight at my mum's when he was around 4 months old, although now with Declan we haven't left him over night and don't want to yet. He has stayed with my mum for a few hours, so Rob and I could go to the movies or whatever but thats it.
Maybe when you feel ready let your DD stay for an hour or 2 and see how you feel then.
DD is 4 in march and the only time she has stayed over is with MY mother when DS was born. I have no intention of letting THEM look after my kids, day or night.
Im not into my kids getting looked after by other people, family or not. Thats my job and no one elses. This is my choice and i realise others may not agree.s
You have to be comfortable with the decision of leaving your child but also ask yourself if your child is going to be to traumatized by the experience. Every mum is different with what they want for there kids so its solely you decision.
