[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dh took the 11pm feeding. I went to bed by 8 or 9. So with baby up at 1?still got a stretch of 4 or 5 hours of sleep. [/quote] This. You go to bed when baby "goes" to bed, around 8 or 9pm. DH can do whatever he wants (go to bed too or stay up) but he does anything beore midnight. After midnight, it's your shift again.[/quote] We have 3 kids. We've done this each time - starting at arnd 3 weeks, I'd pump 1 bottle for DH to use. I went to bed after the 7-9pm feeding, and DH fed the baby the bottle whenever the next feeding was - 11 or midnight or so. Then, he'd go to sleep, and I'd do the 2 am/ish feeding. Absolutely ridiculous for your husband to not help. 100% obnoxious. You are a team, you created that baby together as a team, and you care for it as a team. Just becuase you are home does not mean you do all the work or that you do not also need several hours of consecutive sleep.[/quote]
