    How old was your baby/child when they had their first sleep over?

    Angus had his first sleep over last night with my Mum and Dad and it went really well.

    They managed to settle him in his cot (he has a little one at their place) and he slept in there till 4am, sometimes he only makes it to 1 or 2 am at home. Then he co-slept with them till 6am, then they all got up together. They normally wouldn't get up that early but they were sick of fingers in their ears, up nose, etc.

    And Mum and Dad used cloth all weekend. I just gave them the bucket to dry pail and all went really well. They used GKs during the day and a WC with a wool cover at night. Easy peasy!

    Wow, it was heaven for DH and me. We had a little glimpse back in time to what our life used to be like (and it was pretty bloody good). We went out for dinner to a really nice restaurant and slept in till 8am!!! We both feel great!

    Mum and Dad loved it too but they were so tired and really ready to give him back.

    (I know, we are such a lucky family. Don't worry, we appreciate each other and cherish every moment.)

    Nina is yet to have a sleep over anywhere. Unfortunately we don't have anyone offering!
    But that's great that he slept well for them. It must have been absolute bliss for you guys.

    Caitlin was just over 3 1/2 when she spent four nights at my inlaws while I was on a school placement.

    She had had sleeps at mums during the day, but never a sleep over.

    Sleep Overs

    From the title of this i thought the thread may have been about kids having sleep overs at other kids houses, which is a debate for us at the moment. I have told dd she needs to wait till she is 8 for that.
    But her first sleep over was at my mums when she was 3 months old - we had a wedding to go to (and i had such a horrible night, its terrible fretting over the first time you leave your baby!! i still remember that awful feeling in my gut)
