First of he is a great father in the day.
So my partner and I have an almost 7months who just doesn't sleep. He's becoming worse as he just can not self sooth at night and is up every half hour. He doesn't take long too get back too sleep but it's exhausting. I'm trying out certain sleep training methods just too help us as we are expecting again in 4months. My partners done around 6 night feeds in the 29 weeks he's been here. Today I said too try the furber method and too not go in when he cries. I'm laying on the bed (baby can't see me) and my partner walks in with a bottle for him and completely does the opposite of what I requested. He refuses too do nights with him so am I bad for being frustrated at him?! Baby did not want a bottle BTW he was not hungry.

Your son is a baby. He is far too young for sleeping training. You need to discuss this issue with your partner during the day and agree on a plan about how you are going to deal with nights both now and when you have two babies.

You are in for a world of pain. Your baby is far too young for sleep training.
If you want things done a certain way you will have to do it yourself, have him look after baby and allow you to sleep at another point in the day.

You need to talk to your partner and agree a plan. If husband is crap at nights, then he needs to pick up slack elsewhere, e.g extra housework.

Remind him that you are a team and should be supporting each other as nights are tough!
