Advice please

Helping with bath time, read to her at bed time, changing naps, taking turns to help settle our little girl if she wakes up. I see it as anything I can do he can also do (apart from breastfeed obviously) 😆 but on occasions he’ll give her a bottle of breast milk if I’m out and she’s getting hungry. Also, can assist with cooking, cleaning etc whilst you care for baby especially if baby prefers contacting napping x

I’d say should be helping with housework/cooking, bath time & last feed before bed, 50/50 nappy changes when home at least 🤷🏻‍♀️ If your solely breastfeeding I’d say nappy changes around that, making sure you’ve got water/snacks Side note I’d make a great husband 🤣

My husband cooks and does a lot of washing up / sterilising (when needed). He is also with baby for the first half of the night so i can get some undisturbed sleep for a few hours. He just brings baby to me to breastfeed during that time.

Mine does the last & first feed and also does the morning school run every day with our eldest & all baths which is usually every other night. He works from home so is around to put laundry on or hang a load up. At the weekends it's 50/50 parenting and we sometimes divide and conquer so whoever has the baby gets a tiny bit of "me" time when he sleeps at least and our eldest gets some 1-1 time with the other parent so it's win win.

My husband often leaves before she wakes and gets home and hour before bed, mostly because he works out before woek. So I do most of the childcare in the week and all of the cooking. Sometimes if he works from home, he will change and dress her in the morning. When he gets home he will take over entertaining her and then does her bedtime routine (bath/nappy change/dressing/sleep sack). He has a very stressful job and he sleeps in our spare room to make sure he can get sleep. At weekends he takes her out for walks, does most of the entertaining and changes and takes her to a swimming class. As I'm breastfeeding, I do the majority of the feeds but she often has one bottle a day and he will often do that. However, he does also go rowing or workout at the weekend. I wouldn't stop him being able to workout, although it takes time because he really needs it for his wellbeing. He's a great dad but has such limited time. I wish we got more of him.

My partner works from home which is a great privilege! He entertains and changes the baby when she wakes up while I shower, eat breakfast etc. He'll take her on his breaks for playtime, and mostly he cooks too. He'll help with soothing and changes after work and does bathtime himself (every 2/3 days). I breastfeed but he does at least one bottle a day, usually in the evening/bedtime. Weekends are pretty similar. I do let him sleep in the spare room though so he's well rested and can compensate for my sleep deprived brain 😅

This is our third baby, but our routine with three on an average day: Dad gets up 6:45 ish, gets the older two a drink while i stay with baby in bed (breastfeeding) Dad gets back in to bed and i get up, make coffee, get the boys dressed for school and nursery. Pack my oldest's school bag Usually baby has fallen back off to sleep, dad gets dressed for school run, takes both older boys to school/nursery I put a clothes wash on/wash out/washing up if needed I look after baby most of the day while Dad works from home We have linch together and he plays with baby after his run/food I do school pick up and any clubs with baby I come home, look after baby, make dinner Dad does nursery pick up We all have dinner together I run the bath, dad does bath time with the older two I get them dressed for bed and get their milk Dad does teeth brush time after story (book or vook or TV story) Dad does bed time (oldest goes to bed on his own, middle needs someone to stay with him) I do 90% of baby and 60% of the older two

He makes me breakfast and brings it up to me, and usually does either one of the night feeds or the morning feed. He encourages me to get a shower while he looks after her. He's got a flexible work from home part time job, and has arranged his hours largely around when I have groups I can go to so that there's not gonna be too much time when I'm on my own with the baby. He comes to appointments where possible. He plays with her, soothes her, does a couple of feeds a day on average, does all the washing up and cooking (because it's a big anxiety trigger for me), and does some of the washing
