i do all the weekdays as he works. and he does maybe one weekend day. or if i am really tired or sick i will ask him to do the odd night and he will. it suits us mostly but i do get sick of it being me all the time.

I do them Sun, Mon, Weds and Friday as he starts work at 6am. My OH does them the other nights. Works well for us

Laila doesn't really wake up much in the night anymore it's more like 6-7am but I used to do it at first all the time when she was waking in the night because OH never did it properly

or offered tbh, but OH does it on a Sat now so atleast I get one night/early morning off.

She only wakes once for a feed at 3.30, so I do it as she is BF, and she goes right back in her cot after. Although there was the odd night she wouldnt settle after feeding and I'd ask Andrew to get up and give her a cuddle, but that hasn't happened for ages

I do most of it but OH does help out if I ask him to. He hasn't really offered which would have been nice but he will help if I ask. I do it all week as OH works and has to cycle 14 miles a day there and back but he does one weekend one so I can get a lie in.
