I hate the night time and darkness and being up with an inconsolable baby at that time is really scary for me. I wish I had some experience being up at night time like you have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graveyard-shift#post-428329 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 18:51:09 +0000 mrsmenow 428329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I try to space them out. I think you could, that is what we will do with the baby since it will sleep more during the day. I know a lot of people that go without daycare, but for my sanity we still send her-and she had gone 3 days a week when I worked day shift so I think she would have missed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graveyard-shift#post-428270 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 17:48:37 +0000 anonysquire 428270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: Oh that makes sense to need to sleep after. Do you work all your shifts in a row? Like I wonder if I could get away with no daycare if I work Monday, Wednesday and Friday 7-7? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graveyard-shift#post-427791 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 10:13:39 +0000 mrsmenow 427791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work from 7p-7a, part-time. DD 2 goes to daycare the next day though so I can sleep. It is on days when one of the girls is sick I am home so no one has to miss work. Baby 3 will stay home with me for the first 6 months or so, so we don't have to pay for daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graveyard-shift#post-427705 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 09:28:25 +0000 anonysquire 427705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone else on here work the graveyard shift? After 5 years of working this shift I feel like I could never switch back. Does anyone have experience with a baby and working the graveyard shift? I am hoping that if I go to part time graves and my husband continues working the day shift we wont need daycare. </p>
