Assuming all of the following are true:

  • You have a child who takes long afternoon naps
  • You have an older child who doesn’t nap, and whose mandatory quiet time is significantly shorter than his sister’s nap
  • You live in a quiet, safe, suburban neighborhood
  • You have a baby monitor that works outside of your house

Would you:

  • Walk to the mailbox a few houses away – with or without your five year old – while the baby sleeps?
  • Play out front with your older child while the baby sleeps, with a baby monitor nearby?

  2. Yes to both, though a bigger yes to playing in the yard. That is, absolutely I'd play in the yard with the baby monitor nearby. I feel more nervous leaving my property, but I think I would still be willing to do it.

  5. Both. This seems entirely reasonable.

  6. Yep. The other day we put the baby to bed and went to a picnic in the neighbor's (2 houses over) front yard with the monitor.
