Handling "night shift" and quality time w/ partner?
I'm wondering how you and your partner handle nights with baby? Does one person get up nightly bc of work? Trade nights on and off? How do you handle it?
I'm trying to see what's best for daytime hours really. As of now, we will trade nights. Sometimes we will do 2 nights in a row, (usually hubby will, he's the night owl around here lol) but I'll do the same as well. He just offers it more. And I offer him more naps lol. Bottom line is, it's pretty equal. If one person really would need a hand obviously the other is going to get up. I'm sure it'll be happen eventually!
But now..... Comes daytime..
Whoever does night shift will then go to bed in the mornings and sleep a while. Sometimes til noon! (6am-12pm) or they will wait it out and take a "nap" in the evening. (Usually me)
And lately I feel like we aren't getting that much time together!
I'm a nurse, turned sahm. And he works from home half the week and the other half hes able to set his own hours.
I just don't know if there is a way to "sleep" and *also* spend some quality time together.
Sooo.... How do you handle baby care in your home and ... Are yous able to spend any quality time with one another? Any tips?! Or Advice? TIA!
