Partner returning to work

Sleep during the day as / when you can and be comfortable with some jobs going undone around the house - you’ll soon find your routine x

I didn’t find it too bad really when he went back to work. If you can try and get a few hours sleep before baby “last feed of the night” let your husband do that and get baby to sleep then you take over and do the nighttime feeds. I also had my daughter to take to nursery. X

I take our toddler to bed at 8pm and get some sleep then and My husband stays up to do the “last feed” about 10/11. I then do the night feeds while he sleeps through and he does the first morning feed about 6 before he leaves for work. It works for us as we both get an uninterrupted chunk of sleep. It does mean we don’t really get a lot of time together but we know it’s just for a short time. Just try and find a routine that works for you and communicate when one of you us struggling with being tired and help eachother where you can x

What’s your night routine with feeds? I go to bed at 9pm, partner does the 11pm feed, brings baby into the next to me, she wakes around 2.30/3.30 so I take her for that feed, then put her back in next to me until 6.30 where we are all up for the day (I have a 5 year old who I take to school). This way I get some solid hours of Sleep and my partner sleeps around 12-6am so he has 6 hours before work.
