[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have him do one overnight feed so you can get a 3-5 hour chunk of sleep. It’ll be fine. Essentially you’d be on duty say from 9pm-2am. You sleep when the baby does, then let’s say your husband does 2am to 6am or 7am. You could pump at 2am for ten minutes. He can bottle feed the baby the expressed milk (at 4 days postpartum, you may not make enough for him to feed in a bottle, so you could use formula until you’re producing enough.) your supply will be fine for four hours of sleep and that consecutive chunk of sleep will make a big difference for you. [/quote] I’ll also add that I pump a couple of times during the day. I try to pump 2x-3x daily after feeds. I am two weeks postpartum.[/quote]
