WORK

Hey all! my husband has recently started a new job which is night shifts 9pm-7am. He works 4 on and 4 off but has said he has to stick to same sleep pattern. Not waking until 3-4pm everyday? How are we coping with this and looking after baba by ourselves completely?

Work with baby (I'm aware that sounds weird) to get yourself and baby into a routine with sleep, feeds and nappy changes, as well as any classes you do if any. Husband will have to learn to fit into this schedule and where possible do the same schedule on his days off. I know that sounds harsh but that's how it's done with myself. My bf isn't on a pattern like your other half, he does a more normal work pattern, but he takes over when he gets home so I can do dinner and he takes over a fair amount in weekends in between a home move and swimming. Sorry if that comes across as mean

Oh I just don’t think that would run here and my other half knows it😅 there’s no need for him to be up at those late hours on his days off and sleeping in late. As far as I see it as long as he’s getting a decent amount of sleep I don’t see the issue, he can be up normal times on his days off😅
