View submission: Who does diapers?
Every parental unit works differently. You need to find out what works for both of you, to where it also feels more split evenly so you don’t resent each other.
My husband WFH and I EBF. He does all the diaper changes unless he’s busy doing work, which I respect. He likes the break of seeing her and interacting with her during a stressful day. He does middle of the night diaper changes too, which helps me wake up, pee, and then feed baby. He goes to sleep right after so he’s only really up for 5 minutes at a time.
Our baby almost never fusses with him changing her, and smiles, coos and interacts. He loves it. She fusses with me waaay more often during diaper changes.
Maybe if you EBF, your partner does a nighttime bottle, or they do all of the chores and cook every night. You have to be comfortable with the split of work, and your partner needs to be comfortable doing basic parental tasks (they need to know how to change a diaper in case you aren’t there).
There's nothing here!
