[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Side DH. He has to be fresh for work. It’s nice of him to offer to take 5 am. My DH has a super stressful job for which he needs to be alert for and wouldn’t do any of the night wakings. 
I think that you need to sleep during the day whenever your baby sleeps. I know easier said that done, but it is what it is while you are on leave. [/quote]

So then when she goes back to work... what happens?  It's his turn to be tired and she gets to rest because she needs to be fresh?

She has done all of the work for 9 months plus and has a physical recovery to get through.  They are both busy during the day, they should be sharing the disruption during the night.

I genuinely don't understand why women accept this BS.[/quote]

She did her job for nine months?  What did she do?  Yes, she got fat as a cow, waddles, and gave birth but this was her choice and her DH, physiologically, could not have done this.  She is on maternity leave and taking care of her child is the reason why she us on maternity leave!!!!!!! During this time she should also sleep train child.  Maternity leave is not meant to be a vacation for OP.

As for when she goes back to work, if she is still nursing, he can't do she gets up.  If she pumps then no reason why he can't take one feeding.[/quote]
