[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry one other thing (I’m the poster above) OP the one thing my DH and I were super careful about was the person driving the baby got the longest stretch of sleep. So no matter how you ultimately divide this, on days when the baby has a pediatrician visit (seems like they are every day…) or there is other driving, that parent needs to have slept a decent block. A car accident is *actually* the biggest statistical risk to your baby so keep it in mind when you’re figuring this out. [/quote]

In that case, why not just have DH always be the rested one so there’s one safe driver in the house?[/quote]

That works if he drives the baby to every appointment, does all the errands with the baby in the daytime, etc. It’s unusual that someone goes back to work and then still is the only driver of the baby but if that’s how they did it I wouldn’t raise an eyebrow (it’s the same argument as the truck driver or surgeon just about the baby’s safety).[/quote]
