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

Catrionalee and Em I really feel for you leaving your little, little ones for a whole night. I would have been fretting too (I left Angus for an afternoon/evening to go to the cricket, when he was three months old, and I didn't enjoy the experience either. I especially didn't enjoy pouring two bottles of freshly expressed breast milk down the loo, because I had no way of storing it at the cricket, and I had to express because I was about to burst!).

Em, Yes, I feel the same way about my ILs too, they are nice and lovely and all but I just feel more comfortable with Angus being with my parents.

Ellissa, we all felt really ready for this sleepover. You'll know when you're all ready (I know I don't need to tell you that).

Thanks everyone else for your replies.

DH and I really did have such a wonderful time, not doing much, just having a bit of peace. We still feel good now (days later).

My DS just had his first night away from me just under a month ago. So 16 months old. We too had a wedding.
I really like him with me, I miss him too much!!! (Although in saying that, staying in bed until 9:30 am was heaven!!!)
