[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, OP I would ask what his expectation is when you go back to work in 7 weeks. He needs a full 8 hours to work so what do you get when you go back to work?

I would determine when each of you get your prime sleep. I get better sleep between 1-5, my DH is best between 9-1 because he normally wakes at 4/430. When our new baby arrives, Ill be returning at 6 weeks he has 12 weeks. I can just laugh at being like no hunny you get all overnight and all day because I am working.

You are essentially getting a 3-5 hour "break" where you cook dinner and hanging out as a family. I would bet dollars to donuts you are not just relaxing during that time especially if nursing. You are also about to hit 8 weeks and some big growth spurts. He will be nursing constantly during some of those spurts. [/quote]

OP here. This. I would love if he can take over the morning feed at 5/6am or the 10pm feeding entirely.

I do actually get down time. I shower, sometimes nap if I can fall asleep, or just binge watch shows in between nursing. [/quote]

You said he puts the baby to sleep.  What is preventing him from taking over the 10 p.m feed entirely?[/quote]

OP here. I don’t pump. I’ve actually never used a pump. I’ve down hand expressing and I collect the letdown while nursing. That’s what we use for his evening bottles. It’s much easier for me to nurse. [/quote]
