I have a 9 week old DD - I also have a disabled partner, he is a below the knee amputee on one side.
He struggles with phantom pain and his prosthetic fitting well which causes pain - it's not constant, some days are fine and others he walks through the door and has to take his prosthetic off and use crutches.
During pregnancy we agreed I would do everything at night (I'm breastfeeding anyway so it made sense) but I am finding that I am doing most things in the day too. The only thing I have found works well is bath time - I can set up the baby bath on the table and he is on the chair able to wash her and it's good bonding time.
Just wonder if there are any others in a similar situation and how you handle things? I am sure there are some of you out there in a worse situation and I am not complaining. I realise newborns are hard work at the best of times but just wondering if anyone has any advice or ways they find work with a disabled partner.
Worth mentioning he struggles with anxiety and depression and some days his attitude stinks. If she's crying he will not pick her up he will just leave her crying and sort of 'give up' I struggle with that.
