Support from partner
I’m curious to know, how much support do you receive with your baby, from your partner?
Thinking of the most common situation: you are on maternity leave and your partner is a full time worker.

Me and my partner don't live together so it's tricky but he is financially supportive and when he is seeing us on the weekend he allows me to have a proper pamper session whilst he looks after baby, cooks me a romantic meal so I can actually relax once baby is in bed. It's nice. However we don't see him every weekend it's usually 3/4 due to his work. It's not nice but it's working for now. Just wish we could live together and then he could be more present in our child's life
My partner works full time and has a lot on his plate I know he’s trying his best to make things easier but I just feel like I’m doing this all on my own. X
My husband works 8am - 5pm, usually not home until 6pm ish. During the week I do everything. When he gets home he will do Nappies and he cooks the evening meal. He also does bathtime whilst I sort out Laundry and get things ready for her bedtime. We put our 4 month old to bed around 7.30pm. I do all nighttime feeds and putting back to sleep as I breastfeed. At weekends he does similar but will often wear her in her baby carrier for walks and we share entertaining her x
My partner work 10-6 and is my number one supportive person I don’t have a village but luckily with him I don’t feel the need to have one xx
My partner works Monday to Friday 8- 5 but my goodness I don’t know what I would do without him. He’s so hands on when he isn’t working and does as much as he can with our little one. We make a good team. 😊
My partener works 10pm til 6am, baby wakes up at 7am, he gets her, first bottle and nappy, plays with her, gets me up around 9, then he sleeps all day, gets up around 6pm and gives her the last bottle. Washes bottles and cooks tea then helps me bathe her! Can’t complain x
My partner works 6pm until 6am but 4hrs travel so is gone from 4pm until 8am luckily baby sleeps through but when he gets home he has to sleep all day ready for work again but then after 5 days of this he gets a solid block of 4 days off and I can not fault him on his days off, he's still tired but always plans days out for us, he will do the feeds and napoies if we are out and about as I'm a stress head, he does the bottles everyday he's off and he's the house clown and keeps everyone entertained
