[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an 8 month old and a 2.5 year old. I would be okay with it. Both sttn and I can't remember the last time they woke us up needing anything. And if they did wake up, they cry a few minutes and settle themselves, nbd.

But if I were very worried, you can set a notification on the baby monitor (mine is Arlo, but Nest does this too) to alert me if the kids are crying. It would send me a text message and I could wake DH up or check on them over the app myself. [/quote]

+1. My child also rarely needs anything overnight. And the odds of a freak fire or something happening overnight while you just so happen to be gone are pretty slim imo.[/quote]

Just curious - what do your kids do when they're sick with say a bad cold or something? I assumed all babies / young toddlers cried at night when they felt like shit and didn't understand it but i guess not![/quote]

Neither of my kids (8 and 3) has called for us in the night outside of vomit since they started sleeping through the night. And we’ve had night vomit maybe 6 times between the two of them thus far. That might even be a high guess. The little one has only been sick at night once so far.

So I would leave my kids at this age. Probably not before the youngest was 3 though. [/quote]
