How old was bub when you first left them with someone else?

Hello!

I have heard a lot of younger pregnancy girls talk of their plans to bottle feed so they can leave bub with others from an early age. What are your opinions on it?

Mine were probably around 12 months the first time I left them. I think it’s sad how the young ones want to dump baby to get their party on so soon after birth

I have breast fed all three of my children and have had to leave them with a relative all at 6 months. Once was for a funeral, once for a specialist appointment and the other for a wedding. I expressed prior and left the relative with enough milk for the day. I just had to ensure I expressed whilst I was out so I could maintain my supply.
They are only babies for such a small time, try and spend as much time with them as possible!

It took me a long time to leave my first child for the first time. He was about 4 months and it was for a wedding but I left a few times to go to my mums and feed him. My second is almost 4 months and no plans to leave her yet..
