[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely not. My DH came straight home from work while I was on leave, because I requested it and because he loves me. But he didn't REALLY understand until he took 6 weeks off after I went back to work. He was so psyched for me to get home. Until baby is sleeping through the night, you get the commute as your "me" time, and otherwise you're working for money or you're working for family. It does get easier. We both have post-work and weekend fun plenty now. (Baby is 1.) But not in those early days.

IMO, you don't need to have a big confrontation about it. Just arrange for him to have the baby for a full day (like, you're actually out of the house) so he understands the unrelenting nature of caring for a infant.[/quote]

NP, you clearly never breastfed. A breastfeeding mother cant just dip out in her newborn for an entire day. [/quote]

Um, I am the poster who said leave the dad with the baby, and yes, actually, I have breastfed 3 babies each for a year. No you can't leave a baby alone with Dad for a full day in the beginning, but you can certainly leave the baby for a few hours. You just have to pump. And then when you go back to work, you do leave the baby with Dad for a full day, and how do you do it? By pumping. Don't be a martyr. It will kill you. [/quote]

Yup, pumping. But my children wouldn't take the bottles I so lovingly pumped. They loved the boobies.[/quote]
