So early days I know, but we are now on our 3rd night at home with our first baby and struggling to work out how to balance night feeds/wake ups between us.
Unfortunately dh does not have paternity leave as he is a contractor. But he is able to work from home. So he has a morning meeting at 8am on the phone and is then able to help out in bits through the day - but obviously still has quite a bit of computer work to do.
I’m on maternity leave but haven’t slept properly (no more than maybe an hour a day) since baby was born due to hormones and adrenaline. I’m also obviously very sore and a bit broken.
Anyway! Dh and I are trying to work out how to tackle the nights and wondered if you’d be willing to share what you did to give us some ideas?
