Advice and hugs needed...
FH and I are getting married in 6 weeks. Things have gotten so crazy with the baby, work, wedding plans so we decided to take one night away at a spa. My problem is that DD is soooo attached to me and will be spending her first night at my parents house. She is 10 months old. Is that too young? Am I going to traumatized her? I have been over my parents every day this week trying to get her more comfortable. Am I doing the wrong thing?

Re: Advice and hugs needed...
It sounds like you are going about it the right way. Do your parents ever watch her while you go elsewhere? I would try to do that a few times, if you have time before going to the spa.
I don't think what you are planning is unreasonable. You and FH certainly need some adult time. It would be unfair to both of you to not take one night to spend some private time together. I'm sure your DD will be fine. Don't be so hard on yourself.

No, you are doing the right thing! Re-energizing yourself will make you a better mom and soon to be wife!  The first time you leave your baby is very hard, but she will be in great hands with your parents. And nowadays with cell phones there is no need to worry. You should be at ease that if for any reason they need to get in touch with you, they can. Go, relax and enjoy the spa!

MY son spent the night with my brother and his family around that age and I worried too. HE was fine though, your DD will be too. DS is 3 now and loves sleepovers there (about 1-2x per yr.) Enjoy the night.

They have watched her once a week at my house during the tax season. It was for like 2-3 hours and some of that time she cried! Plus I see them at least once a week just for a visit.

I would start letting your parents do her bedtime routine. Then just transfer her to the acrseat and take her home. Or even just let them feed her, get her in her PJs and read her a book and then you can take her home.

Ava has spent 1 weekend night with my parents a month- since she was a few months old. Don't ever feel guilty. It is good for your daughter to spend time with other people. Enjoy....
