[quote=Anonymous]I’m not totally sure what is going on here. What it comes down to for me is that sleep is essential for both parents, whether or not they are working. For many women, “just nap during the day” doesn’t work because they can’t fall asleep (that was my issue) or the baby doesn’t nap easily yet (many babies don’t have a stable nap schedule until 3 months - that’s very normal.) But I’m not sure if that is OP’s situation. On the other hand, it is selfish and churlish for a parent to declare unilaterally that they are not going to participate in an aspect of childrearing. No parent can just refuse to do night-time parenting altogether like the DH here. At a minimum he needs to take night feeds every other day so she can get some solid night-time sleep. He has no right to declare that she bears all the burden of night parenting. [/quote]
