Who here is sleeping with partner vs in a separate room? I’m curious to know what everyone’s night time routine is. I sleep in a different room whenever we don’t have visitors. The way I see it is I have to get up to pump when baby gets up anyways (he never latched so I’m exclusively pumping) so what’s the point of partner also losing out on sleep? However I will say we do have a very easy newborn so usually he will eat then go back to sleep at night so there isn’t much a partner needs to do to help. Really just curious what everyone is doing!

I feed, partner changes diapers and lays her back down after she’s done feeding so i can use the restroom and change my own diaper 🤣

You don't want him to lose out on sleep? You're a better woman than i am.. especially postpartum!! I would just hope my partner would wake up with me at least some of the time, help any way possible! Can you pump enough to last thru the night so you can rest & he can feed baby?.. even getting to sleep thru 1 feed gives me 2+ more hours & it makes a world of difference!
I'm not sure how much support your partner has been able to give you or what the work/housework/baby care situation is, who does what or if it is equal, but I would rather sleep with my partner & my own bed, even with baby in bassinet right next to me, then sleep separately, even tho it is awesome of you to be so considerate & being willing to sleep separately & do the night work/feeds yourself without asking for or expecting help!

My husband, baby and me are all in our room (and in our bed 😅). Husband hangs w baby for an hour or two around 9pm so I can get all of my bedside essentials ready (pump parts, bottles, burp cloths, etc) then I handle all night time care. Husband is back at work so needs the sleep more than I do at this point 😅

I have been a single mom, always will be I'm sure since I have sworn off men & would never get married haha
I have always slept alone, aside from co-sleeping with my son until 19mo & now will be co-sleeping with baby girl I expect because I cannot sleep unless my babies are close!
If I were in your situation tho, had a partner, I would honestly not want them to lose sleep, but wouldn't sleep anywhere but next to them! ♡
I would also be just fine with taking care of the night stuff for baby, I am just like that.. empath.. also I am not happy or at peace unless the people around me are good!
Sorry for the long post, my life story!! But wanted to say everything & have it make sense?

We are all in the same room, but my husband sleeps through EVERYTHING hahaha. I get up to feed and pump and he sleeps! He usually does the midnight feeding and then I do 3 am and 6 am and depending on his work schedule he will do 9am! Also exclusively pumping. I
If he were to wake up then he would probably sleep in our guest room to get sleep.
He’s working while I’m at home on maternity leave so I’m okay that he gets sleep and I dont! I’ll nap once during the day while baby naps

My baby doesn't allow us to sleep at the same time so he does nights and I do days

Husband and I sleep in same room with baby, but most of the time my husband sleep through baby’s wakes. I’m ebf but he will help changing diapers sometimes while I go to the bathroom or if our oldest daughter wakes then he will go and sleep with her so that she doesn’t stays up too long since they get up early to go to school (he drives her everyday 30 min to and from school) so I let him sleep when is closer to 5am or else he won’t sleep anymore and I’m afraid of him driving out daughter while sleep deprived.

Yeah unless I’m in the bathroom and baby is crying her head off bc I can’t run to her, he doesn’t get up. I do the feeding and changing and it doesn’t bother me to do it but I do wish he’d take initiative. He really only holds her then passes her off but doesn’t do any actual “work” when it comes to her. He does the other work around the house & gets food for me and makes sure to ask if I need anything from a store or something

We are sleeping separate because I am EBF and co-sleeping. He is a heavy sleeper and I worry about her plus he is useless at night. I am sleeping fine. He does almost all the chores and takes care of me during the day so I can breastfeed.

We are coparenting and I am EBF but on the two nights he stays here he sleeps on an air mattress in the living room because I can’t stand his snoring and kind of dislike sharing a bed with anyone but baby anyways. Grateful he’s patient and helps with laundry & groceries as I do everything when he’s gone and always at night. We might still try living together in December and plan on having a three bedroom so we have separate spaces.

We sleep in the same room. I told him that I can sleep in the other room but my husband is needy lol 😂😂😂 jokes aside he wanted to help with the baby that was the main reason.

Separate. I do everything while he does nothing but work!!

omg I guess I’m more tired than I thought bc I thought you were telling us to separate like as a couple and I was like wtf 😂 I’m with it now. Yeah my husband is finishing his paternity leave and then he will do nothing but work to try to make enough that I can stay home. So I’m cool doing all the night time stuff lol

Oh no that's not what I meant! I'm so sorry that's how it seemed.
