What do your nights with baby look like?

Question

Do you handle everything on your own with feeding and changing at night or does your SO help you?

Answer

My son is almost a year old. Since he has slept through the night (about 5 months old), my husband has done the nighttime routine. The routine is nighttime diaper, pajamas, bottles, story and placing in crib with sound machine. My husband also bathes baby, i help dry 😬. I stay at home with him during the day and get up with him if he wakes during the night. My husband does it because he doesnt see him much after he gets home from work and he likes to give me a break.

Answer

single mom so yes i do everything. luckily i was blessed with an easy going baby. hes 2 months and every night at 730 he puts himself to sleep like clock work. i just have to feed him around then and hes knocked out for the whole night. i change him into his pjs around 6. make sure he has a clean diaper at 715. i wouldve given him a bath at night but he does better with morning baths and he puts himself to sleep so no need

Answer

I do 95%. I get up and feed/change and then once baby is almost back to sleep I put her back in our bed wrapped up and my husband will comfort her as needed so I can go pump. I have a super low supply so I'm pumping in the night as well. If baby is super fussy when feeding he'll get up and check on me. He works early so i do t expect him to be up more than he has to. Plus hes super helpful when he comes home and makes sure he gets time with her and bonds. She's gonna be a little daddy's girl for sure

Answer

You just got to do it because no one else will. (Like you have to do it on your own if they have a hard job or aren’t there, not saying it isn’t wanted though) 
Basically you get sleep as soon as they take a nap. While they are up try to clean as fast as you can. Do not do anything when they are asleep because thats your sleep!

Answer

I stay home, and my husband works, so I take care of the baby at night. Once in a great while he won't go back to sleep for me, my husband will go in and rock him.

Answer

I do, it all on my own my s/o doesn't even wake up when the baby cries and we are about to have another in 2 or 3 weeks

Answer

Up until dd was about 5 months old when my dh got home at 5:30 pm he took the baby so I could sleep. He would just bring her to me when she wanted to nurse. He looked after her until about 11pm when I took over.
