Night feeds
Show your support
It’s similar to my situation but I often wonder if I’m not asking for the help. My husband has zero baby experience before this so I know he’s nervous and anxious. I find myself doing the majority simply because its easier to do it myself to make sure its being done “right” (my way 😅) And overnight I’ve found it’s easier to have me wake up and do it all quietly so babe can feed and get changed and go back to sleep efficiently. I do find myself annoyed at my husband but I know I should be more communicative with our needs during this time
My partner and I split overnight feeds and day feeds about 50/50. Sometimes it's a little skewed toward one of us when the other needs a little more sleep but I'm definitely not doing it all myself.
Yes it is normal but what is normal for someone doesn’t have to be normal for you.. I do all the night shifts alone. I ebf but we have plenty for bottles. I’m a SAHM and hubby works 60 hours a week right now so he needs to sleep when he can since he is providing for our family. He does in turn take him every evening when he gets home and gives me a few hours peace to get things done. Usually that is me setting up the next morning for our older kids, packaging my days milk for the freezer and showering then I take back over for the night shift. It is what works for us and many other families but that doesn’t mean it has to work for you! I suggest you talk to your partner about needing additional support and the resentment it is causing in a calm way. It’s normal to feel this way and there are big changes going on both in your life and hormonal/physically for you he may just be oblivious. Good luck momma, you got this!
I'm going through the same thing. I don't want to call it "normal" but it appears to be the case. 🙄
