Sleep Schedule?

How are you managing your sleep schedule with your newborn? My husband goes back to work soon and we have no clue how to go about making sure we both get enough rest. What did you do? đź«Ł

I lose sleep through the week because he works. He helps on the weekends

Same as Isabel, but I still get about an average of 6-7 hours total overnight. My husband helps out more on the weekends. Plus I try the nap at least once most days. Sleep has been a little better now that she'll go at least one 4 hour stretch overnight.

I take night shift so I sleep in our bed in the nursery, he sleeps thru the whole night. I have baby 11pm-8am usually. String the night I usually get 4-6max hours for my two week old as he is very sleepy. Then in the day my husband watches baby as most days he works from home and has a laid back job. Usually I’ll nap in the morning from 9-10 am ish and then do housework during the day while he works/ watches. We will do stuff together for baby thru the day, or just me if his work gets too busy, and then around 5pm after we have dinner and he gets off he takes over completely. Around 7pm-11pm I’ll nap again before we repeat all over whim.

With our first we shared responsibilities and none of us got enough sleep. Now I decided to take full charge of the baby at night, let him sleep and take care of our toddler. It’s been working for us. The baby is a pretty good sleeper (~4h stretches) and easy going so i have been able to sleep most of the nights since birth plus a nap here and there 👍
