But is it so unreasonable to assume that a fed and put to bed baby of 18 months would be ok for 2 hours or so?
I am actually just asking because I don't know anything about baby care.
Do they need minute by minute attention?

yes james, it is extremely unreasonable to think that a baby of 18 months - 1.5 years - would be ok alone.
sure, fed and put to bed with someone is the next room and the child would be fine - but alone - NO WAY.
you don't even leave a child alone for 2 seconds on a changing table - a one and a half year old can crawl, walk - what if he was trying to get out of his crib and fell and broke his neck? the story said he was crying and the neighbor found him in the hall - obviously you cannot leave a child alone, ever.
