Night shifts and feeds !

Hi ladies would you say your husband is tired from work and he shouldn’t do feeds ? My husband has 1 and a half day off a week and I have no help from any family and lockdown made it harder. So I asked my husband to do the night feeds seeing as he’s home tomorrow just so I can get some sleep he refused and said he had work today we should just take turns. Is this fair ? I mean I look after the baby 99% of the time ?

If he has a day off the next day yes he should do the night feeds so you can catch up on sleep. You need a chunk of uninterrupted sleep to function properly. Even if he takes over the baby during the day so you can catch up on sleep. He needs to pull his weight it's not just your baby.
Yes he works but he gets to sleep at night and breaks during the day.
You need a break too.
