[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, OP—we also have a very high HHI and had our third child earlier this year. We had a night nurse for anywhere from 3 to 6 nights a week. The baby would do amazing with the night nurse—wake just once a night. Then on nights where he slept next to my bed he would wake multiple times and I’d be exhausted. So personally I think if you can afford it you should  do a night nurse every night. A good night’s sleep is worth it. I also had childcare Monday-Thursday (already arranged as I work) but think I was fairly present with my older kids. [b]I don’t really see a problem with your desired arrangement as long as you are really spending a lot of time with your kids one-on-one rather than just going out to get your nails done and such.[/b] My husband was all for my being well-rested and also refused to get up at all for the baby—he’s an awesome dad but his thought was waking up at night would mean he’d be less productive the next day and lose way more $$$ of productivity than the cost of a night nurse. I guess that’s not how your husband feels though ...[/quote]

People need to really lay off on the judgment here. OP can get her nails done, lay around with her baby, go to the gym, whatever. It doesn't make her any less of a mom for doing so! [/quote]
