[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes if you are home On maternity leave and have help during the day and he’s working, he should be able to get a good night’s sleep. [/quote] This. It would have been different had your mom was not able to help during the day. DH can do his part at times that are less disruptive to his sleep either early morning or the evening / early night. With our first, dh used to do the evening shift (I’d feed & go to sleep 7pm - 1 am) while he burps / changes, but then I’d wake up for the 1 and at 4 am for full shift (feed, burp, change). I was breastfeeding, & would need to be up anyway, so didn’t make sense to wake him up as well. But it also depends on baby’s schedule, your supply, if you’re bf / pumping / formula feeding, if baby is going through growth spurt & wakes up more often, or if seems to have colic and is crying longer… so, if all is well, let him sleep.[/quote]
