Ok, I know a lot of you are going to say you can't expect a routine this early. But I'm not talking about a really strict routine, but I want to start expressing next week so DH can do a feed and I want to think about the best way to do it but am still in a newborn baby fug! I just really need a sleep longer than 4 hours!
Currently we don't really have a pattern but DD will feed sometime between 11 and 12.30 or so, settling down by 1am. Sometimes she will sleep 5.5 hours, sometimes only 3.5. She wakes up between 4 and 5.30, feeds and if we are lucky, down again by 6-6.30 till 8 or 9.
I want to introduce an expressed feed so I can get to sleep for longer than 4 hours, but not sure how/when to do it. DH is up for work at either 6 or 7. Should I get him to do the late night or early morning feed? Can you share your experiences or night time routines?
Before this time DD is often unsettle and will sleep on one of us or feed and not settle well leading up to the late night feed.
