    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)

    My Ds was 3 months old too - and we had a wedding as well! He stayed with my sister and BIL and was an angel for them! Woke once during the night for a feed then back to sleep until 9am. At the time it was horrible leaving him and i worried all day and for weeks before hand,but my sister was great - sent me texts and a picture msg etc. She rang the next morning to say they were going off to the park and to take our time coming home, so DH and i even went out for breakfast and felt like real people again. It was great! It gave the confidence to know if we had to do it again, we could. The funny thing is, i would only feel comfortable leaving him overnight with my family, not DH's. There is nothing wrong with them, they are lovely people but i just wouldn't be able to relax

    DD was about 2 when she had her first sleepover at my mums. It's been a godsend, now that I have really bad morning sickness she spends the weekends there and I can have a real rest.
    But I do miss her heaps!!

    Eldest DD was sleeping at friends from about 2-3, DS slept over at grandparents from about 10 months (sheer neccessity), DD2 goes to my mums occasionally.

    I remember thinkning it was weird when one of DD friends parents called concerned her daughter would not cope with a sleepover at the age of 10! I didn't realise, it is such a normal thing to sleepover at our place.
