[quote=Anonymous]I was in a similar situation a few months ago. What I did was a split schedule, because my other two kids (twins) were in preschool and I did the night feedings. She did the first morning feeding so I could catch up on sleep while DH was getting the kids ready to school. In the afternoon she picked up the kids from school and took them to playground/library while I was with the baby and getting diner ready. Our scheduled looked something like this:
 
Mondays, Wednesdays:7am-9am & 3pm-730pm
Tuesdays, Thursdays: 7am-9am & 1pm-730pm
Fridays: 7am-9am & 1pm-6pm
Almost no weekends.

Then two weeks before I went back to work I changed the schedule to be 8-5pm.
It was really important to have a flexible AP, we had many iteration of the schedule and this was the last iteration we both liked.
In the AM she took care a baby and cleaned up after the kids.
In the afternoon she entertained the kids while I got diner ready. The days she started at 1pm, I got to go to the gym. She also did all the 3 kids laundry.

BTW, we never had any issue with me being home. Because I did no interfere unless she had a question. I was happy to be away and let her deal with the baby because I trusted her.

Good luck!
