[quote=Anonymous]If both you and DH will be on parental leave and this is your only child, you would probably manage. It also depends on how helpful would he be. A lot of the help needed would not be baby related but housekeeping related: cook, clean, do laundry. Especially if you breastfeed, there would be less for your DH to do, beyond burp and change diapers, but you’d want him full force on the cooking, laundry and cleaning. So if he’s the type who can organize and do it, then the two of you will manage fine. If not, then your mom would be very helpful. Also, how long is DH’s parental leave? Your mom could come after he’s back at work, cause you’d still want support. In any case, if she doesn’t have limits on how long she can be around, then she could be there from the start.[/quote]
