I think in the 9 months that we've had lo dh has put her down for a nap maybe twice? Most of the time up until now I've breastfed right before her sleep so its just easier for me to do it. When we're done breastfeeding dh will definitely have to step up and help! yin on "Who puts the kids down to sleep at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-puts-the-kids-down-to-sleep-at-night#post-910589 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 23:54:07 +0000 yin 910589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We do bedtime together, but I let DH take most of the responsibility. He is in charge of brushing teeth, bath, and clothing LO. I assist and read books before bed. When LO2 comes, DH will be in charge of our 2 year old for bed and I will take care of the baby. sylvie_b on "Who puts the kids down to sleep at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-puts-the-kids-down-to-sleep-at-night#post-910581 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 23:42:59 +0000 sylvie_b 910581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We split naps on weekends & share bedtimes.

He might read facebook on his phone or just nap. We started this when she moved to her own room at 8 months - he'd come down too when I nursed her. It helped me to feel less resentful about how much nursing her messed up my sleep and not his. It's a lovely ritual, I'll miss it when we have two children and we have to split us. pl0508 on "Who puts the kids down to sleep at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-puts-the-kids-down-to-sleep-at-night#post-909044 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 21:34:31 +0000 pl0508 909044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We literally split it down the middle since I'm EP now.

He gets home right before DD's bedtime, so he does most of bedtime with her. She *loves* her daddy time. sera_87 on "Who puts the kids down to sleep at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-puts-the-kids-down-to-sleep-at-night#post-908973 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 20:59:01 +0000 sera_87 908973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Naps, I do. Bed its a joint effort; unless its after 11, then it's all me. After 11 happens way too frequently, I'm sad to say.

If I'm busy, he'll do it. If he's busy (or not home yet) then, I'll do it. Naps, I do while dh is at work, but again, during weekends, that rotates based on who is busy or not. When we have 2, dh will take over th eldest, because I will most likely be nursing. chopsuey on "Who puts the kids down to sleep at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-puts-the-kids-down-to-sleep-at-night#post-908965 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 20:56:21 +0000 chopsuey 908965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH does baths when he's at home and I put the kids down for the night. sslm on "Who puts the kids down to sleep at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-puts-the-kids-down-to-sleep-at-night#post-908955 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 20:52:54 +0000 sslm 908955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I pretty much always do it because I nurse her to sleep. DH is very helpful though, he always does diaper changes and swaddling. And if she's being fussy and not going down he rocks and bounces her. So I can't really say I do 100% of the work!! pinkb on "Who puts the kids down to sleep at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-puts-the-kids-down-to-sleep-at-night#post-908948 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 20:50:04 +0000 pinkb 908948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH 98% of the time since I am at work.

I deal with most naps, but those are pretty easy (*knocks on wood*) because I nurse her to sleep.
