Do you have a schedule with your DH on who wakes up to tend to the baby at night?
-
I'm a SAHM, and I tend to the baby Sunday night through Thursday night. My husband takes over on the weekends.
-
We don't have a schedule, but since DH works and I don't, he needs his sleep, so I usually get up to take care of LO at night. Plus DH is a heavy sleeper, so her regular crying doesn't wake him up most of the time.
-
I have all the night time duties. If LO wakes up at night, it's to eat, and she's EBF, so I don't really have a choice. Plus, I'm a SAHM, so I would do it even if she needed something other than food.
-
100% Mrs. Bee since Olive is not a bottle fan (though she will take it from our nanny... half the time with a battle). But we're going to have to change that soon otherwise I'll never be able to leave her alone with Mr. Bee!
-
I do. Since she only gets up once, I don't mind so much.
-
I was bad... even as a SAHM Rob Sr. and I would get up together. But by the time Rob Sr. was back at work full swing, RJ only needed 2 nighttime bottles: midnight and 3 or 4am. Rob Sr. would feed with the bottle and I'd pump. We'd stay up and do the midnight feeding, then we'd both get up for the 3am. When RJ dropped that 3am feeding Rob Sr. definitely appreciated the sleep!
-
I do since I'm a SAHM and the one with the boobs. ;p
-
@tina: I think its really cute that you always got up together! I would probably want DH to get up with me too for the company but I doubt he'd want to.
-
I do, she only wakes up once or twice now, depending on how hungry she gets. He'll let her get to a cry, when I don't let her get that far.LOL
-
@daniellemybelle: Hehe... luckily for Rob Sr. RJ dropped his middle of the night feedings pretty early! Once that happened I started pumping just once a day, before we went to bed around 11pm or midnight.
-
She usually sleeps 12 hours now. But if she does wake up in the middle of the night, hubby gets her. I get migraines so I need my sleep, and hubby understands that.
-
I nurse and am a sahm so I get her at night if she wakes
-
Raises hand, then yawns.
I nurse and only work a few hours a week now that Cam is here. Luckily we only have 2 night feedings for now- around midnight and again around 3am. Most of the time I'm back in bed within 30 minutes- except for last night when we passed out on the recliner for about 4 hours accidently.
My husband will get up if I need help, but since he works full time, I let him sleep for the most part. When I work he has bottles of pumped milk so I get a little more rest.
-
Me. Also because of the boob factor. We both works, but he works more. We're usually down to once a night, so it isn't that bad.
-
I'm the one with the boobs so its me for now. Although DH will get up to check in on him if we dont think his cries are food related. Lo is only feeding 2x a night so its not that bad anymore.
-
If she just needs some white noise or her seahorse (fisher price musical seahorse like the glow worms) DH will but if she needs to nurse, I do
-
Me because of the nursing like others have said and i am still on maternity leave, although DH will get up at times if she is just fussy but not hungry and try to get her back down. This will probably change a little when i go back to work but i will still do more nursing. I think that is fine because it is good for one of us to be well rested!
