[quote=Anonymous]Sleep deprivation is really really hard on people. You have hormones post birth that are keeping you in love with the baby and bonded (some women don't get that even). Your DH is in a orally different position. He has no hormones, no nursing just lack of sleep and for him the baby thing is totally new, you've been growing and on ding for 9 months. Not saying that it's easier for you. Of course not. You're in pain and early nursing is super hard. We both agreed to just be nice to each other for 2 months. Not say anything mean and what we could regret. DH took a bit to bond with the baby. You guys need to calmly hash out priorities: ie first month is just keeping baby alive and fed and changed. Nothing else matters. You guys need some sort of food and some clean clothes and that's it. Nothing else matters. If you're nursing then your DH does everything else!! Laundry, making food even if it's scrambled eggs every night. Overnights you split the night waking up and calming the baby and he brings her to you to feed and then you sleep again and he hangs out with the baby in another room. 
To be honest we didn't fight but several couples told us they did so we made a point to be as nice as possible.
