I feel like I’m not getting enough help!

I’m a 23 year old new mom. I did babysitting for newborns all the way up to 12 years old. My baby will be a month old on the 16th. I absolutely love my baby, and I love my husband. I just feel like I don’t get any help though. The plan was to breast feed but couldn’t get her to latch so I had to stick with formula. My husband leaves for work at 6 am and doesn’t get home until 7 or sometimes later. I am up with her all hours of the night and home with her all day long. I feed her and change her and give her baths and love on her. I’m the one who comforts her when she is fussy. I just feel like my husband should at least want to hold her. He was so excited for her to be here but now that she is here he acts like he wants nothing to do with either of us. I’m so tired and just want to actually have some sleep uninterrupted ( is that bad?). On his days off we are so busy that I don’t even have time to stop and think. I just want a day where he will watch her long enough for me to get at least a few hours of sleep. I feel like a bad momma for wanting at least that. I don’t ask him to do much of anything cause of his hours and stuff but I feel like on his days off it shouldn’t be much to ask for just a few hours. Right?
