I haven’t been away from her for a night since she’s been born… almost 10 months. I am trying to tell myself I need to get away for a couple days… but it’s breaking my heart the idea of not seeing every moment.
This is definitely something you need to overcome. When you have a person set out to keep an eye on the baby, just enjoy yourself, let yourself have fun. Stay responsible and come back at a reasonable agreed upon time, but other then that, enjoy yourself.
You’re not a bad person for having your mom watch the kid while you have a good time.
This is always one of the hardest times for first time moms, from what I hear. It’s healthy to be nervous about your first time being away from your kiddo, but I also think it’s important to assure yourself that baby human is in good hands with your mum, and you deserve a weekend to yourself. It’s self care!
