Ever since I had my baby, which is now six months, I have had trouble reconnecting with my partner. My time is so dedicated to the baby that when he gets home from work I don't have much energy left and I usually end up going to bed at the same time as the baby. Does anyone have any tips on how to reconnect emotionally, and physically with your partner?

We definitely had to go through a period where my partner did like 90% of the housework because I just couldn’t do that and childcare and it really helped clear some of my brain space x
