DH helps with everything but he is currently 100% responsible for baths. I wish it would stay this way forever but I will be going back to bath duty after I have the baby.
-
DH is 100% responsible for baths too! It gives me a nice break and gives him one on one time with our kiddos.
-
DH does bedtime every night
-
for the past 2 months (my 1'st tri bleh-ness) he has woken up with LO every morning and changed and fed him before work. this has made SUCH a huge difference for me! so grateful!
-
he does bedtime every night, it's a welcome break after being with the baby all day!
-
DH is responsible for everything during the day (SAHD). He is mostly responsible for bathtime, as the washer, and I'm the dryer
We spoil Baby Ninja by microwaving his towels so they are warm when he gets out of the bathtub.
-
Yep, he's the bath man too
I now loathe giving her baths.
-
Diaper changes, baths, putting on pajamas, night time story reading, and updating her daily baby journal. It's so cute to watch them together!
-
DH does bath time too
-
DH takes care of P's bath 99.9% of the time. He shares in every other area with both... Except night wakings with P.. I have those 100% of the time.
-
He does a lot but he is not *better* than me at any of it. He doesn't own like I own it.
He does do better at bedtime than me but that's because I taught him how and then I let him have it. I don't ever do bedtime. -
Bedtime routine with getting him in a sleep sack, pacifier, and two board books. Occasionally, I get to do it.
-
oh wow - didn't know baths were so popular with SOs. My hubby is 100% responsible for bath + bedtime (except for the occasional night that he can't get home in time). I LOVE this... it gives me some ME time after a long day at home.
-
He does 99% of the formula/bottle. I want nothing to do with it. We split dipes pretty fifty fifty. And he takes the lion share of getting up in the morning on the weekends until his first nap.
-
I have the feeling that he will take charge of the night time routine. He's a lot more energetic than I am in the evenings, and if I'm going to be waking up all night, he'll most likely offer to help out then.
-
DH does all sorts of child care. He does nights because I work most evenings. He likes getting his one on one time with his little boy.
-
He does Ria's naps and bedtimes when he's home (so four bedtimes and five naps a week). Sadly, she's been clingy and wanting me lately. I love her, but I do all Sunny's naps and bedtimes as well!
-
DH does baths and bedtime!
-
My husband took over the night time duty when we night weaned my daughter at 13 months. Now at 18 months she STTN half the time, and needs some amount of snuggling up the other half. I'm sad that he's sleep deprived, but I'm glad in a way.
When I was still nursing her overnight, I'd sometimes have to lay there, awake, for hours to do it. And it made me really miserable. He'd always go down and be with me while I nursed, but he'd just fall right back asleep. He thought he was just as sleep deprived as me, which really pissed me off, honestly. He's seeing what it's really like to have to be awake for long stretches sometimes (as opposed to waking but going right back to sleep), and I'm glad just for the sake of him understanding it. But I feel awful that he isn't getting the sleep he needs - it made me miserable.
-
Helps with everything but he owns the nightly bath.
-
Wagon Sr. was pretty much diaper duty for both kids when they were infants. He was also in charge of nighttime bottle feedings and I'd pump while he was feeding them.
Now with two he is in charge of Wagon Jr.'s mornings-- getting him up, to the potty, change clothes, fed, and out the door for daycare. I pump and get ready for work while he's doing this.
For bedtime we usually divide and conquer. I usually take LMW and he takes Wagon Jr. Some days he'll get LMW started with the bath and I'll take over for the bottle, and he'll do Wagon Jr.'s bedtime right after that.
Post bedtime, we also divide and conquer. I usually wash dishes, bottles and pump parts while he packs Wagon Jr.'s lunch.
We're all about teamwork! I don't think either one of us is idle while the other is working. We get it all out of the way together, then we relax together.
-
He is responsible for making dinner for us while I do bathtime (not strictly baby related, but connected!), and he is 100% responsible for the diaper genie. He also gets up for the early am wakings/feedings, and gets LO dressed in the morning. Everything else we split.
-
Nope, but I think he'll take over more responsibility as she gets older. Right now he's still sort of scared he'll break her.
-
He takes care of lo while I make dinner. And he does the actual bath. I sit in the room with them, but dh does all the work.
-
Not really. We do everything together. We like to spend as much time together as possible in the evenings since we don't see each other all day. On the weekends he handles most nap duty to give me a break since our LO fights her naps like crazy these days.
-
Bath time.
Once i go back to work he is going to be in charge of breakfasts/getting LO ready/daycare drop offs.
-
He helps with a lot, but he is always the one to drop off and pick up DS on my work days... It is such a huge help!
