Hi guys I struggle with putting baby to sleep. Hubby says he’s too tired to as she cries with him and just wants me and says he does two jobs walks the dog cleans the house and I can’t do one thing.
Can you please tell me if putting a baby to sleep should be shared? I also do the night wakings when she wakes up every 3 hours for breastfeeding and all I want is if she wakes up 6/7am he has her so I can nap for 2 hours.
If you could advise me? As he feels like he does everything else so I should just focus on baby but sometimes I need a break too and happy to do housework etc but he’s impatient and wants things done

I'm the one who puts my little boy to bed ... and we'll everything else for that matter. I like doing it all though - either that or I've just got used to having no help!
I do bedtime most of the time but if I need a break my husband will do it. Communication is key x
It should definitely be shared (sensibly - depending on what else he's expected to do). I do the night because my husband works, but he wakes up if I need him (poop explosion LOL) and he often takes him in the morning before work. I'm struggling a bit (baby is 3w) so thank God he WFH and can come down and help sometimes. Earlier he took the baby and I made dinner, as I needed a break.

I think it should be shared but as time has gone on my partner has fallen asleep holding our baby and ended up in the bed with us so we agreed that I would just do it moving forward. It’s caused lots of arguments though if I’m honest.
