[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to stagger the night. You go to bed early, like 9pm, he does the 11pm/midnight feeding while you’re asleep. Then he goes to bed and you do the rest of the feedings.

It sucks but it won’t last forever. [/quote]

OP here. This is what I was hoping would happen but nope. He said he does enough, and he actually does. I just wish I had help during the night. I still get very little sleep. [/quote]

Can you flip it so he does the morning? But there is no “enough” where a new baby is concerned. You need sleep too.[/quote]

OP here. He won’t do mornings either. This is our current setup.

He wakes up at 5:30/6am for a 1-1.5hr workout and then leaves by 7:30/8am for work.

He gets home around 5:30. I put the baby down for an evening nap around this time. I will make dinner while he changes and has a couple of minutes to decompress. We eat and then he takes the baby and I do whatever for 2-3 hours except for nursing. Then we hang out as a family. He puts our son to bed each night. He does let me sleep in and does more on the weekends.

Currently, my baby goes to bed at 10pm and is up at 12:30/1am, 3/4am, 5/6am. and up for the day at 7/8am. This pretty much sums up our day too. [/quote]

1 to 1.5 hours to workout every day, you cook dinner so he can decompress, and he [i]lets[/i] you sleep in on the weekend? When is your workout time? I'm guessing there's no time in his schedule for that.

Sorry, but he's being selfish. If he digs in his heels then I sure as heck would remember that when you start thinking about baby number 2. Because what you are getting now is a big old message that he considers the bulk of child raising to be your job. Enjoy being on the hook for every single thing for the next 18 years.[/quote]
