Stay awake for mother to feed

[1NuDad]

Hi there.
I'm a new Dad. My fiancé and I had our son last Wednesday. He's feeding really well and is really heathly, as shown by his tests so far. But it's 02:45 and we've been up all night cluster feeding him. I am staying awake to give my partner moral support and to make sure she doesn't fall to sleep. Her eyes sometimes start flickering when feeding him and I'm pretty sure she's dropped off to sleep a couple of times. This frightens me which is why I've stayed awake mainly to keep an eye on her.
Problem is, I'm trying to do the daytime chores too to give her as much rest as possible but I don't know how long I can keep this up for. But I definitely can't sleep otherwise I'm scared she will fall to sleep feeding the baby.
Any help most welcome.

Ewan the Sheep is a must for my DC to fall asleep....I think I myself may have become dependent on him too.....the sound is very soothing!

White noise is great. At 7.5 months now we still use it and it really helps give DS that nudge into sleep. There's loads on youtube.

Pp are right- don't dismiss co- sleeping. I also worried that i was 'making a rod for my own back' and that he would get too used to it but we only did it for a few weeks, and it did help get us through

Keep persisting with the moses basket too and gradually he'll feel more comfortable in it. Likewise the cot when he's a little bigger.
