Which parent should be taking care of baby in the early mornings?

I don't think you should feel bad. If you want to ease that feeling, maybe alternate? Like you do some mornings, he does others... I personally do all the night wakings, and my husband appreciates he can get his uninterrupted sleep because of it. We're very lucky my baby doesn't get up until 8:30 most days. He'll do the 6 am diaper change and bottle before leaving for work. But on weekends when the baby is up early, he let's me sleep in. I also work from home.
@𝒜𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓃𝒶 UPDATE: I tried it last night and honestly I got so much accomplished I picked up the house and cleaned and did bottles and baby went to sleep longer then what I’ve been told … I think I’m gunna give hubby a break from now on… he’s usually so dead tired in the morning and sadly sleeps on the couch and doesn’t return to bed when doing mornings with baby ..and me on the other hand I still feel rested and am able to take care of baby and do work with no issue haha thank you for helping me .
If I can be honest, just my suggestion. maybe you should be waking up with the baby. Your bf works outside the house, on his feet for 10 hours a day. I agree, yes taking care of a baby at home while working from home is a lot of work too but to just put that all on him I don’t think is fair. If he wants to help, at least split the days or something. I had 3 kids. I stayed at home with them after the 2nd one. I was working with my first as a nanny. He came to work with me mon-Fri 7-6p. I was still waking up with baby because he was breastfeeding but my husband worked a job that was way more tiring than mine (fire alarm inspector in Boston, 1 hour drive with traffic) So I didn’t mind. Granted it was hard but I did my best. Remember this season doesn’t last long at all. Soon, your baby will be sleeping through the night.
