4 month olds first night away

ok.... my son is 4 months old and is spending the night with his great grandmother and aunt tonight......
am i supposed to be this worried? hes never been anywhere without me. he spends 24/7 with his mommy.... never even had a baby sitter , and here i am wanting to finially go out but im worried as hell!!!

what do i need to pack for him? he'll be with my grandmother from6 pm till probly around lunch tomarrow....
i have no clue on what to pack for him... can anyone help me?

oh and do you think its to much to write down his scheldule and rules?
i feel bad for writein all that out already.. i dont want my grandmother mad at me but i parent him so much diffrently than she did to my mom and to me.....

It's completely normal for you to be a little upset that you won't be with your child for the first time. I'd be worried, too!

& as for the schedule and rules, I suggest you do it. If your grandma or sister gets him off schedule then it won't be fun for you when he comes home, he could be cranky and not cooperative!

My son is with me 24-7 and last night we had to leavehim with my boyfriends sister and it was only therefor a few hours but I was freaking out.As much as I want a break it just doesnt feel right not having him around lol. I'm terrible when it comes to feedings I dont like it if someone doesnt make the bottle the way I do so I dont let anyone make bottles I hate it when someone put the powder in first.Also I'm a freak about the way his diaper is on cuz if its too loose he pees all over the place I'm horrible lol. I basically told her what to do ya know like how I like to do things. If he ever stayed somewhere over night I think I would make a list or tell them how his routine goes and to keep him on that schedule. We called his sister like 3-4 times last night to make sure everything was ok. I also packed extra clothes, toys, blankie, tylenol and teething stuff cuz hes teething stuff like that. I think if you just pack the basics he should be fine hes only gonna be gone for a night so you dont really need to go crazy with what you pack.

ha this is what i have packed already..
5 outfits
5 pre measured formula bottles( she puts WAYYY to much fourmula in them when she makes them)
1 can of extra formula.. just in case
10 diapers
3 packs of fruit and his spoon
cereal
toys
whipeys
and his medicines

the instructions and all that is 3 pages long.... i kno that when i give her hte lst shes gonna freak out on me and just not read it....
its more like a guidline on what to do IF ya know........
like directions on makein his bottle and medicines and what NOT to feed him( since she thinks its fine to give a 4 month old just anything off of her plate thats not hard..... we had an incident with grits last week)
and just a breif explantion of bed time, nap times and feeding times....

is that to much or does he need more stuff???
i didnt let my 3 year old stay with anyone over night untill she was 8 months old so all this is quite new...

Thats sounds good to me. She shouldnt get mad its your son its not that you dont trust her you just want things to be done the way its always done so he stays on the schedule and how things go so it doesnt mess him up. I dont think I could let my son who is also 4 months old stay somewhere over night just yet a few hours was enough for me and tonight I'm gonna be away from him for 5 hours I'm NOT looking forward to it.
