[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If bedtime feeding is around 8, you need to be religious about going to bed & he should be ‘on-call’ through midnight and hopefully you get 4 solid hours of sleep. DH can then be off 12-6 and maybe do first feeding in morning, extending your sleep.[/quote] This is how we handled it, although last feed and putting baby to bed was closer to 7 pm. DH handled the first feed about five hours later, and I did the two after that during the night, usually 2 and 4 am or 3 and 5. It worked pretty well but required me to go to bed super early. I was never able to nap during the day - I am just not a napper - but the key for me was getting that solid chunk of uninterrupted sleep. When we had kids two and three, I needed to be fully functional during the day to do preschool driving (SAHM). We hired a night nurse for the first three weeks. It’s expensive but worth every penny especially since it’s just a short term period.[/quote]
