I'm a first time mom and I breastfeed..so it's pretty stressful n my bf had always been a hard sleeper n now these the baby is here he still hasn't got the hang of waking up when the baby cries so it's always me that had to be up all night with her .it's tiring and I don't think he gets that ..I'm tired af she's only two weeks and she won't take a bottle so dad can't feed her n she's with me all day n night no matter what..n I just want a little rest
Unfortunately I don't think men ever wake up when babies cry. Even though he can't feed him, let him know that you need help. He won't know unless you tell him. I was the same for the first 2 weeks when I was breastfeeding. Unfortunately it didn't work for me so he's now on formula.
hang in there mama, it'll still get easier. it's best not to offer baby a bottle until at least 4 weeks, to avoid nipple confusion. most men sleep right through a baby's cry. But maybe he can try to let you get a nap in after you've nursed. he can take baby after, just wake him up! lol
@sharonpaige13, it's hard to wake him up he does this thing like I think he up but he talking n his sleep but I try to wake him sometimes..@rosalinasmami, we try the bottle BBC I want to goto work n still want her breastfed tho n yeah he started out trying to or her to Sherri after I feed but IDK why happened now...@amiliz06, I've told him.doesn't seem like anything had changed much N we're trying not to use formula but I've thought about it bc that way it'll be kinda equal at night he can fees her too but I don't wanna give her formula ..he just needs to help more n be more supportive,shoot I'm tired and still do everything
