View submission: Who does diapers?

Nope, my husband changes just as many if not more diapers than me. That’s wild. Our child is his child too.

Same. When was my husband was on paternity leave, he easily changed 90+% of the diapers. Now that he’s working, it’s obviously dropped some but it’s still pretty even and during the weekends he does more typically.

Yup. Same here, my husband also changes the same amount and maybe a little more. Especially the poopy ones. Lol.

Yup. My husband changed the first diaper for both of our kids because I was in bed recovering. He hasn't changed more than me because I'm a SAHM but he changes almost all diapers when he is home

Same. He’s taken one for the team for the especially stinky ones, too and I am forever grateful. 😂

Agreed, the first month that my husband took off with me he changed almost every single diaper for me.

My husband does most diapers if he can. In the hospital, he changed ALL. He knows how exhausted I am from breastfeeding and how I’m recovering, so changing diapers and burping the baby is the least he can do.

I'm on the opposite spectrum of this; my husband changed our child's diapers more than me while we were at the hospital, but once we got home? It was like.. 80/20, me/him. If I asked him "will you change the diaper?" I'd get "do you want me to?" as a reply.. which turned into me not even asking bcus I shouldn't have to do that.

My husband changes more diapers than me. I still breastfeed and take care of the meals, and do most naps. We both do bath and bed time. And we both play/spend time with him equally.

Same. I was terrified when baby came home. Husband did 90% of the diapering and changing.

This is the way. I didn’t change one for the first few weeks of both kids
