Feel like a bad mum

Does Dad work? I’d tell him you need a bit of help, give him baby for an hour or so in the evening, take yourself off to have a bath, read or do whatever makes you relax, even have a nap before the night shift starts! We, as Mums and the primary carer shouldn’t have to ask permission to do simple things for our own self care!
He works Monday to Friday 7-5, he thinks we have it easy as we are just staying at home looking after the baby
When is his last feed before he sleeps 5 hours? X
7:30 x
So try dream feed him between 10&11 he may stay down that bit longer my last babies bottle is around 5-6 I dream feed him and he doesn’t wake till 7 or 8. My partner is exactly the same as yours I just get on with it and just think you’re the one missing out not me. X
Are breastfeeding or bottle? If bottle dad should definitely be helping. I'm bf so other than nappy changes hubby can't do much but I would be annoyed if he wasn't even trying to be useful
Definitely feed him again before you go to bed. My son always has a feed between 10 and 11. Dreamfeed if necessary. He might not take the full amount but might take some. It does sound a bit like a sleep regression too, which can happen around now. I do think that your partner should be willing to help more, even if just at the weekends. It's his baby too!
@Lisa the baby is bottle fed
Thanks everyone
I also forgot to add that I have excruciating toothache as well as I am waiting for them to be taken out
