[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I’m with your husband. The rule in our house was that there needed to be one person getting uninterrupted sleep. Two adults with interrupted sleep was a disaster. Since I was nursing that meant that I was up with the baby. Spouse slept.

BUT…it was all hands on deck. Because I was up with the baby, that meant I needed to nap during the day. I wasn’t doing all the meals or laundry. Spouse would come home from work and take the baby so I get some alone time. No one complained about the house not looking perfect. Groceries were delivered or take out ordered. [/quote]

I generally agree with this, with the caveat that he handles all feedings on the weekends so OP can get two nights of uninterrupted sleep.  I know you can't "catch up" on sleep, but there's a big difference between an unending expanse of bad sleep and seeing a day in the not too distant future when you can sleep through the night.

Also, you should have him do what you describe as the "bedtime feeding" and go to sleep as soon as he gets home/off work.  That'll give you a bigger block of time to sleep.   [/quote]
