Is a six week old baby to young to be left with a family member for a week?

I wouldn't do it.. 6 weeks is very young and a week is a very long time!!

Yes. I would never in a million years, leave my 6 week old with a family member for a night, let alone a week. My 9.5 month old has never been left with anyone for more than a couple of hours. And that includes Daddy. Neither she nor I are ready to be seperated for that long. I still struggle with leaving my 3 year old with Grandma and Grandpa for a week, even though my daughter LOVES it.

Why can't you go on a cruise? You're pregnant, not terminally ill. Is your pregnancy deemed high risk and your activities limited by your doctor?

Why not take baby with you?

Clearly you're not breastfeeding, but a 6 week old still needs to feed at night. Is this family member willing to wake up every 2 hours, or possibly be awake for hours at a time with YOUR newborn? Do you want somebody else to be doing YOUR job for a whole week?

No, 6 weeks is far, far too young. Never in a million years would I have left my daughter for a week at that age. She's 14 months and i've never spent more than a few hours away from her.

Why can't you go on a cruise while you're pregnant? Why can't you take the baby with you? Chances are when you've had your baby, you won't want to leave them for even a night.

I personally think 6 weeks is too young to leave a baby for even just 1 night. And seriously...how much would you enjoy a cruise with your newborn on your mind 24/7? I mean especially on a cruise...what if something happened to your baby? If you are at sea you cant just swim to shore and jump on the next plane home...how would you even find out? I do not recommend it.

appropriate now your son is receiving out affected person therapy. Have any of the psychiatrists stated in-affected person therapy? i comprehend he's in simple terms 6 besides the undeniable fact that it ought to be necessary to 'bounce initiate' the therapy in case you comprehend what I mean. Has he been categorized as 06 (emotionally disturbed)? He would desire a point 5 software or in line with threat a point 6 software in school. If he keeps to hit the youngsters and instructors, he would be put in a point 5 software yet he desires the label first. discover out which colleges on your district have a point 5 software.point 6 courses are placed in inner maximum centers. Abilify is an unusual decision of medicine for him. this is many times used for youths. babies do no longer respond nicely to Abilify because it could heightens their aggressive area. i will get rather some thumb downs for this yet here it is going: in line with threat you need to concentration much less on college and extra on his psychological well-being. do away with him from college and concentration on each and daily psychiatric therapy or deliver him to an in-abode psychiatric facility. communicate along with his psychiatrists approximately this. the faculty counselors are no longer allowed to make those thoughts whether they think of this is terrific. Being held returned via one 12 months isn't the top of the international so please evaluate this. If his habit does no longer strengthen, you would be compelled to make some annoying and painful judgements. i'm confident you already understand this. for sure you are able to no longer enable your son to terrorize and threaten the emotional and actual well-being of his siblings. he will ought to be faraway from the abode and placed in a collection abode, everlasting well-being center or foster care. what's your husband's place in all of this?

Even if you do, even on the trip you might be thinking of how your baby is doing.

I think it is fine to leave the baby with someone who has experience of taking care of an infant. And accordingly if you are breasfteeding, have enough milk stored away in the freezer.

Give the caregiver the contact details of the your pediatrician.

Most importantly, this caregiver has to be a very patient person because at this age infants will be unpredicatable.

All the best!

I personally feel that is way too young - but it's obviously your choice. I breastfed my daughter, so there was no way I could have left her with someone. She's 19 months old, still never been away from us for more than a few hours (date nights). She won't spend the night with someone else until she can speak clearly, and express her needs to others.

I personally feel six weeks is far too young... I wouldn't even leave a baby that age for one night! I'd either take the baby along or not go at all.

That's too young. I wouldn't leave my 6 weeks old for a night. I can't imagine leaving my babies alone with someone else. A week is a very long time.

You are joking right? no way in hell could you have ripped my daughter away from me 6 weeks pp.

That poor child will just be becoming attached and you will be her only comfort. Then you are gone for what seems like forever. Take her with you! Babies are allowed on cruises.
