I guess I'm always the different one in this thread. I raise my boys with the help of my village. I'm very lucky that i have my parents and parents in law not too far away. Most importantly, I trust them.

DS1 had his first sleepover at about 3 months, DS2 at about 8 months. They would stay over at either grandparent about once a month.

Whatever works for you and your family is best.

Oh I so wish we had family like that! The girls only have my dad, who is in a nursing home, and their dad's mum, who is overseas, and until June, were on the other side of the country to my brother and sister.
I do think, had my mum, or DHs mum, been around, then they both would have been left much more often and much earlier without concern.
