Husband going to work…

Me and my husband done it so that he done the 7pmfeed and late feed and I would go to sleep early and then do the rest that way I got a good amount of sleep and this suited him as he wouldn’t go to bed before midnight anyway just find your grove and don’t be scared to ask him for help I like to think about it in the way as once his finished work so have you everything else is a 50/50 cut I get that he has work but you have a little human to keep alive which is just as important xx

I really like your approach to this! Like treating childcare as a 9-5 as well Thank you for the feedback!

Yes of course you both have a job to do and once he comes in from work you take 20 minutes to yourself treat it like your travel time then recoup and share everything it shouldn’t all be down on the mums your a team ❤️ you can do it parenting is rough but this time is only temporary xx

Give this guy a follow for the modern take with a better attitude to the labour involved with childcare. He makes a brilliant point in this video - he’s going to go to work a full day on 4 hours of really awful sleep but what’s the alternative… his wife has to work a full day on none?! I don’t know what your husband does but if he has an office job, there’s no way what he does could be as important as keeping your precious newborn alive and happy. Your sleep is as important, if not more. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Also I’ve seen people argue that the man needs to do his job well because he’s financially responsible for the family… but many seem fine to work after a late night out with a hangover. I don’t buy it.

We did similar with our first as I wasn’t breast feeding, shared night feeds with what worked best for us, and when husband got in from work, either he did dinner and I looked after baby or vice versa. That’s not to say I did no chores. I would try my best to get laundry washed and hung to dry and would try and keep things tidy, but wasn’t always the case. Vacuuming etc was and is still done when my husband is home. Either he does it or I do. Just dnt put pressure on yourself. Get groceries delivered.. my days in the beginning (2nd baby) involved school runs, washing bottles and just making sure I ate and baby was fed/napped etc. if I managed to get out for a walk that was an extra win, anything else didn’t really matter. We cooked two days worth of dinner to make things easier. Meal prepped on his days off to take pressure of on the days he was at work. You make it work.

Thanks everyone so much for their input. I am breast feeding so it dies feel like I won’t be able to get any uninterrupted sleep 🥲

I am wfh mom and my husband go to office 10-5 .. I normally take care of my son in night because he screams if it’s not me .but then my husband wake up early and take care of him till 10.. he cooks breakfast , I sleep uninterrupted from 6-8.30 or 9 ..also sometimes I sleep in night early with my son and my husband clean the kitchen ..it’s tough but plan your day in advance, discuss schedule in night for next day.
