[quote=Anonymous]Op I do agree that it is reasonable to go to your wife and ask for help at night. It is totally reasonable to split nights, she is working taking care of the baby during the day and you are working at your job, you both equally deserve some sleep and the type of nights you are doing on your own are not sustainable. You have to get some stretch of sleep, I’m amazed you’ve been doing it generally and then plus doing mornings, it honestly doesn’t seem fair or at all functional for you. Maybe you approach it like you understand how she feels and you want to be supportive but waking every 45 minutes at night is just not something you can continue and stay sane and safe. I think you all need to do shifts so you each get a stretch of sleep. So maybe you do the first stretch til 12-1am-ish and then she does the second. Research shows I think it’s a 4 or 5 hour stretch that can be incredibly good for your brain and generally staying functional. It’s just not reasonable for her to say no to sleep training but not help during the night or mornings. You can’t survive like this. [/quote]
