Leaving my 8 month old for 4 nights. bad?

Hi!
I am going away for 4 nights over easter with my hubby and 3 year old. My 8 month old is staying at my mums over this time. Our 3 year old has had hardly any quality time since new baby has come so we thought it would be nice to just take her away on her own.. BUT i am feeling sooo guilty for leaving my baby. Questions like will she feel neglected/sad/miss me all these kinds of things keep going through my head and bad mum bad mum!
Mostly the neglected sad thing though..I know she's just a baby but im worried she will think Ive left her! (Sorrry i know this sounds stupid!)
Anyone have any comments/tips/advice? Have you left your baby for a time before? Were they ok?

Thanks :)

You are not neglecting the baby at all and she is far too young understand what is going on if she was older then YES. Cheaper options is to take DD on a day trip where you can go shopping, swimming, zoo etc.

Thank kebakat! Yeah she has been a great big sister and totally deserves some one on one time.
Im not taking baby because its not a holiday as such. My hubby goes to a big kids camp over easter and its not ideal for baby for that long I don't think. Outside all day in the sun, not really any amenities for bottles and nappies etc so I think if we tried to take both miss 3 would just be left to tag along or having to wait around for me to deal with all little misses stuff(as hubby will be busy with groups of kids). And in general yeah that's life and whatnot but there's lots of things I can do with her one on one there which would be great which i couldn't do with both!

And afterwards we are all going away together as a family for a week for our actual holiday.

She might miss you a bit but definitely won't feel neglected.

Sounds like you've got it all planned out. Enjoy your time away

Ditto what the others have said, that she will miss you but won't make it mean that she is abandoned etc. 8mo is probably a great age to do it as she is young enough to not make such a big deal that she might do after 18months.

Enjoy your time with your 3yo and then your family holiday all together.

cant say I would I agree with other lady bout making time for 1 and exluding another however that said sounds like you have an awsume support network so best of luck

If it feels right for you, then it's all right. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty. I think it's a lovely idea. Your baby will be ok, she will miss you and you will miss her but she will be ok, she will be with Grandma and she will have fun. I think it's good for them to get used to being with other people too. You will always get mixed opinions on a forum like this/the more people you ask but if deep down you feel ok about it, then it's fine, if it's right for your family then thats the most important thing

It's easy to have big ideas when you have only one child!!!! Good for you, and your three year old will LOVE it. I think older hcildren often get swept up and forgotten a bit in baby madness. Plus baby will LOVE having Nana's undivided attention!
Normal to feel anxious, but trust me,it will be fine..after all, what can YOU remember from when you were 8 months old?

Your three year old will love it! It'll be so much easier on you guys with the older one. Grandma will love the time with the little one too!

My 8 year old is the one that gets to stay with Grandma & has been since she was quite small, I trust my Mum & her judgement ( she did raise me )Now they have special holidays all the time, so we get to spend the quality time with #2 who was always in his older sisters shadow. So crossing fingers it goes well & you can have one on one times with either child in the future
