My husband does two full days of childcare - one I’m working at home the other im working in office. At first it was really nerve wracking for both of us but now he’s great and he’s really in a parenting rhythm and he’s bonded SO much with our son. My advice? Get on the same page about the important stuff and don’t sweat when he does the little things differently than you. Fed, clean, well rested are your priorities - if you go in expecting him to do everything how you do it you’ll both get frustrated.

My husband takes care of our baby 3 days a week while I work from home. I still do naps and feedings so it's a little different if you will be working outside the home. But Dad's have a different way of playing. So while my husband's care looks different than mine, it's still good care and it has given them time to bond.

my husband watches her while im at work monday-friday 8am-7pm. he’s going to do some things differently and you’re just going to have to accept it as long as he’s still being safe. the hardest part is not seeing your baby all day but it’ll be okay!

My husband stays home with our almost 6 month old.
my baby is almost 6 months too
Yess I think missing her will be the hardest part
