How do you handle nights when partner is back at work?

I'm EBF and I do the nights . I also had a C-section. I do the nappy changes, burping, feeding and anything else. Luckily my son (5 weeks now) seems to have learnt that it's night and he goes straight back to sleep.
However, I sleep at 9pm- midnight and my husband gives my son a bottle of expressed breastmilk and then he sleeps midnight-5:30am and then takes over from me at 5:30am and I sleep until 8:30am. It means that he gets 5 and a half hours of sleep and I get 6 hours of sleep.

Im also wondering this. My husband starts work at 7am so I have no idea how to manage it so I get some sleep and dont get burnt out

How often is baby feeding, ours feeds every 3 hours so we would both do 12am and then I’d do 3am. Nappy change, feed and burp and then he would do the 6am before leaving for work. This means my partner gets 6ish hours unbroken sleep in the week and I get a good few hours each side of 3am and nap in the day

I also had a C section so tried to make everything as easy as possible such as getting everything out ready before my feeds. It’s really tough to start off with but it gets soo much easier. Mine is now 7 weeks old. I was more independent from week 3 and pain reduced

Just depends on how often baby feeds. This might not work for everyone especially if you are in a lot of pain or breastfeeding

If you need the extra support from dad due to recovery don’t feel bad for asking, these weeks fly by and you’ll be able to do a lot more on your own soon xx

My baby's 7 weeks and luckily goes down between 10 and 11 and wakes 2-3 then up at 7-8. We set up his nursery for nighy feeds so when he wakes I take him in there to feed and back to sleep then bring him back into the next to me. Means hubby gets unbroken sleep. I also had a csection and for the first few weeks woke hubby if I needed help.

The only way we are able to do it is if I have a sleep and take over around 12/1am. My baby is bf but I am exclusively pumping and the one advantage is I can pump and leave milk for them while I sleep. Feel very nervous for when husband goes bell to work and I need to work at my day naps with baby rather than relying on him to be there for her

My baby is 5 weeks I had a section partner starts work at 4am most mornings, he had 2 weeks off, it’s been extremely hard since, I also have two big dogs, and I’ve had to do it all, even though my partner is very supportive I’ve had to get on with it, but take it from me, listen to your body as some days I felt good but on week 3/4 of my section recovery internal started to takes its toll, I now feel extremely sleep deprived but have to remind myself how much I love my little girl and that I can do this, even your partner doing the last feed of the night helps if you get your head down early enough to create routine, you’ve got this x
