Working out

So I’m 4 months pp. recently my bf started working out at like 7am-10am each morning. He has been going to bed earlier and waking up earlier. But he has this luxury because he’s not waking up in the middle of the night to pump and feed our baby girl. I wake up every 3 hours so she can eat and I’m pumping as well. I’m ngl I’m exhausted by the time he gets up to work out. I wanna stay in bed and try to get a few extra hours of sleep in. This morning he asked me to work out with him.. i said i was tired and he goes on this rant how im always making excuses, everyday i do the same thing.. (I’m also taking care of our child most of the time) This pissed me off because he doesn’t get up in the middle of the night. He doesn’t do half the shit i do so yea it makes sense that he has the energy to work out.. anyone else dealing with this? How do you find the energy to work out. That really made me feel like shit this morning tbh..

Can you guys take turns doing nights? That way you can work out on the mornings that he was up.

That is beyond frustrating of him!! The only reason he is able to get up and actually workout is because he has the ENERGY and got SLEEP!! News flash- you need actual energy to exercise otherwise your just depleting yourself. You, unfortunately have ZERO energy for that being up at all hours of the night pumping!! Anyone who breastfeeds or pumps and feeds knows how much ENERGY that alone takes out of you!!! Fun fact for him- the metabolic energy needed to breastfeed a baby each day is what you'd use to walk 7 miles!! You and your body are constantly working out just by sitting!! He wants you to exercise then he can get up in the night- watch and tend to the baby each time while you get your rest and energy to exercise in the morning- guarantee he won't have the energy to do his full regular workout on zero sleep. Your doing amazing! Caring for a human being is a ton of work!! Feeding them with your body is even more taxing!

I don’t understand why he isn’t helping you ?

Hmm Tell him after he makes a baby, gives birth, & caters to the baby, then maybe he could say something. But not really, everybody is diff as well. I for sure do not wake up at that time unless my baby makes me lol

Since you’re pumping, he should definitely be taking some of the night feeds.
