[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you go to bed at 7pm, have dh (hanging out in a different room) handle the baby till midnight, then you switch and you take over? We did that with our second and it was enough sleep for dh to cope at work and enough unbroken sleep for me to be able to cope with the rest of the night.[/quote] It gives you each 5-6 hrs without interruption.[/quote] Yep- we did something similar and it worked out well. Your DH is still a parent and him being back to work doesn’t magically absolve him of all childcare responsibility.[/quote] This. You take shifts. Yes maybe the baby has to eat, but you have to sleep in at least a four hour chunk. He takes care of the baby from 6 to 11, then you do overnight. Nap in the morning while the baby naps. [/quote]
