@jimmyeverydayy: Night time routines with a newborn can be tough. This is our exact schedule at 7 weeks. A good dad SHOULD be exhausted. Not because you didn't sleep at a certain time, but because you showed up. Remember that communication with your partner is the most important thing. Dads, consistently check in. If something isn't working, offer solutions on how to adjust responsibilities and scheduling. Every baby is unique, but so is every parent. #newdad #newmom #firsttimeparents #newborn #dadsoftiktok
if you're on the same shift, you're doing it wrong. with twins, we got very regimented with our shifts. Wife slept 8-2 uninterrupted. I had 2-7:30 uninterrupted.

Double shifting never works, people need a break. Theres no good if both of you are sleep deprived at the same time

I think a big factor is how the baby is being fed. When my daughter was your baby’s age we were tripple feeding or pumping and bottle feeding. If I were to do an entire feed myself at night I would have been up for around an hour and a half or more which would only leave an hour or less for sleep before doing it all again. With my husband getting up and handling the bottle while I pumped, we were both up for about 45 minutes leave almost 2 hours of sleep for both of us.

My wife wants me to get sleep. She stays at home all day with him while I work from about 6-6 depending. I come home, we do whatever wasn’t gotten around to together. We grocery shop together, walk the dogs together, dishes, etc. If baby boy needs attention (diaper changes, feedings, burps) one of us will split off. Sometimes we take turns sometimes we don’t. What I’m trying to say is she lets me sleep at night (unless she specifically says she needs help) and she’ll take naps during the day when baby is sleeping.

Wife breastfed. So she did the night shift alone and i did nothing to help her sleep in and catch up on sleep. Also meant that I was well rested enough on the whole to handle times where baby didn't want to sleep between feeds.

what worked for us was my partner went to bed a little early and I had all feeds and diaper changes until about 3-4am and then he would take baby til he had to leave for work at 530/6. it gave me an opportunity to get a long stretch of sleep from 1-2 am til about 7.

When my wife and I had our child, I kept them with me in the living room from 9 pm to 3 am. We set up a bassinet, and I handled everything so my wife could get at least 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Then at 3 am she would come out and take over and I would get some sleep. Different families will have different routines, no one way works for everyone

im a little confused bc your schedule describes you being on a night shift (grabbing baby boy at 11:15). i don't think there's a fair way for dad not to interact with baby at all from 8 pm to 8 am if mom JUST had a baby (meaning first 2 weeks).

with kid 1 we both participated in night shift, did dream feeds, etc. with kid 2 she does all night work, no dream feeds, i handle toddler wake up/bedtime and most meals/kitchen duty for everyone. i sleep in guest room. works a lot better

If you can do shifts so that both parents are getting roughly 5 hours of uninterrupted sleeps it works great. Still tired but, not falling asleep at dangerous times during the day tired

Our son was not into sleeping so we had to split the night in half. He was up every hour almost on the dot.

Haha he said safe space. My wife is a wonderful woman. But there are times that a simple “hey babe” unleashes hell. Also. What if I work the night shift for a living? Just curious how that plays out.

Luckily my wife is logical and knows it’s best that we aren’t both exhausted during the day I’ll get up in the middle of the night if she needs me otherwise I handle the bedtime and morning shift so she can catch up on lost sleep. It works like a charm

Ive been reading a decent amount of peer reviewed studies on “shifts” for newborn care in prep for baby getting here later this month. A- everyone’s circumstances are different B- the science says that if baby can even sleep on dad’s side of the bed and even just be passed over to mom at night then the baby tends to sleep deeper because they can’t smell mom’s milk. Dad’s taking night shift is backed by peer reviewed research but not everyone’s life mimics the research parameters
