DH takes the 2:00 wake up, I take the 4:00 one! He's not too happy about it, but he's gotta get over it

I do them all since I've got the boobs.

When my LO was an infant DH and I took turns if she was just awake to be awake. I was breastfeeding, so I would handle all feeds. Once my supply was more established he would do one feed a night and I would do the others. We both WOH.

I do all MOTN wakings and have since LO was a newborn. Usually either Saturday or Sunday, DH will get up with LO, and occasionally he'll do it in the middle of the week as well. Otherwise it's all me. but he works and I SAHM so it seems fair.

We did a combo of BF and bottles since the beginning so he always did at least 50% of wake ups. He looked at it as his way of bonding with DS and being able to comfort him. And now with DH working 60+ hours and going to school at night, he handles most of the MOTN wake ups because it's really the only time he sees DS during the week.

ETA: We both work out of the home.

We used to split them 50/50 when he was first born...then it migrated more to 70/30 with me being the 70 once DH went back to work and I was on maternity leave. Now, I do the very few and far between night wakings since something is usually wrong when he wakes up now, but DH will come in to check on us.

I pretty much do them all. Lately she's been waking up a bunch close to when she goes down and before she's hungry, so sometimes we'll switch off on those.

Yes. He used to bring her to me to nurse, now we switch off nights. I get her one night, he gets her the next. We both work FT, though so that's a big part of the night waking sharing.

The answer is hardly ever, unless L's been up all night and I'm at my wits end. Some Saturdays he'll get up with him when he's up for the day.

I do them all myself and always have We are still BFing.

My husband gets up with M each weekday as he gets up for work fairly early. He gives her a bottle and sometimes she'll go back to sleep for a bit. We alternate on the weekends.

When I was on maternity leave and they were still doing night feedings, I handled them during the week, on the weekends we both got up each time.

Now when they just randomly wake up MOTN, we alternate. One time it's his turn, next it's mine.

For waking up in the morning, we both get up every time.

I am grateful that DH is such an equal partner in parenting with me. Of course having twins necessitates it a bit more, but not always. I know of other twin moms who don't always have such equal partners.

DH has been really good to me from the start. He always took at least one feeding even when he had to go back to work and I was on leave. Thankfully now that I'm back at work LO usually sleeps from 7-4, eats once then wakes up for the day between 6 and 7, so DH will take the 4am feeding then go to the gym and I'll get up with LO afterwards.

The first month, he took the shift between 9pm and 2am. It was amazing!! Now, I do it all because it's just quicker for me to BF than to warm up a bottle and allow more time to lapse for DS to get worked up. However, once in awhile when I'm just at the end of my line, I wake the hubby up and tell him he's on duty until he goes to work.

I do almost all his wake ups, but a couple times a week he gets up for the first awake time and let's me sleep.

I did them all when I was on maternity leave, and he got them on Friday night so I could catch up that night and Saturday morning.

When i went back to work, we traded nights. She's always been on formula at night. Now that she's STTN, we both tend to get up because something is usually wrong if she wakes up crying.

I do all of them up until 3am, DH does everything from 3am onward. I BF, so if she's hungry he brings her in to me and then takes her back to the nursery and settles her down for sleep and I just nurse her while half asleep in bed. He also does the morning shift from when she wakes up at 5.30am so I can sleep in. We both WOH so it seemed like the best way to make sure both of us have some uninterrupted sleep and can function at work.

She slept through the night early, so he has always gone in if there's a night wakeup to see if she can be soothed without the boob (no chance if I go in). He also goes in and gets her in the morning and changes her before I feed her.

um never lol. he could sleep through a tornado, and doesnt even know when LO is crying at night. I handled all MOTN feedings for the most part, unless she was sick and up 10x a night or soemthing crazy. now that she STTN, neither of us have to.

I do all of them but in the early days he got up with me and would change her and I would feed her. Now I let him sleep for work. I just have him change her in the night if she goes n.2. She is the blowout queen! Otherwise I like him to change her before he leaves for work at 5:30 am. He views her as ours so he will always help but I know he needs rest and we get to sleep in in the morning!
