What Your Baby Should Be Doing at 11 Weeks
Your 11 Week Old Baby
Mothers are generally more worried about the whole babysitter scenario than fathers. You may spend the entire night checking your phone, looking at your watch, and thinking of your baby instead of fully enjoying the time away. If you choose to get a babysitter and go out, enjoy it. It will be 18 years before your baby is grown up and out of your home, so get used to going out now. If you still think it is too soon to leave your baby with a babysitter, it's perfectly fine. It is a personal decision you have to make.
