Apologies for the slightly hypothetical question, but how long would you leave your 6 month old baby with your mum for if you wanted a break?
As a first-time not-yet-mum I just don't have a clue how long is considered too long. My mum very happily offered to look after kiddie-to-be a couple of times in the first few months, and I was hoping that we'd be able to get away for 3 or 4 days for a festival we always go to. Does this sound reasonable? Obviously it depends on the circumstances at the time as well, but for example, how old was your baby when you went for your first weekend away?
