Hey all!:) Next week my husband will return to work after being home with us for 3 weeks. It makes me nervous as he is currently handling part of the night with pumped milk. But He‘ll have to get up at 7 for work soon. Any experiences or tips on how to share the newborn care in this new chapter of life? Thank you!

Why does getting up for work at 7 mean he can’t still help in the night? The baby is both of your responsibility.. don’t let that wash! As someone who’s been back to work once.. work is a walk in the park tired compared to being at home all day with a baby! With my first my partner would sit up with baby until 12/1 while I slept and then I’d do the second half of the night.
But aside from that.. you’ll find your own routine! Try and get out every day if you can even if it’s just for a walk around the block x

No tips but my husband is also back next week after 4 weeks off and I'm dreading it 😅 he helps sooo much during the day idk how I'll manage haha

On same boat too hubby back to work in 2 more weeks and he also does a lot from dawn to dusk!
