Perhaps. But waking up for a feed etc doesn't come as second nature to Dad's. Mothers are never in a deep sleep. We're much more aware as baby wakes & prepared when they do. And it depends on your partner. If I've pre-warned my hubby he's getting up with the kids he sometimes sets an alarm. Or if one wakes he's slightly more aware. Sometimes if still have to shake him awake.

@sara-lou86 part of me doesn't want to ask him... I feel he should WANT to help me and his daughter

Perhaps next time ask or tell him he's getting up in the morning. My husband helps enough but I usually have to ask him. He won't voluntarily get up lol

@genieh @bonnieb thank you girls. Just a losing battle with oh at the minute x

Not at all! My partner would do it no questions asked- he'd want to spend as much time as poss if he wasn't going to see her for a week! And I'd expect him to too!! Xx
