What do I do with baby for my and mine spouses odd sleep/work schedules?
I'm expecting my first child in July. My husband and I both have family members that can help with child care. I work 12 hours shifts, 7 to 7, rotating every two months from days to nights. One week I will work 5 days a week and the next 2 days a week. It totals to 80hrs in the 2 week period. My husband has a set schedule of 3:30 to midnight, 5 days a week. However he has difficulty getting to sleep when he gets home so is often up till 4am and wakes up around noon. When I work nights I sleep from 7:30 till around 4pm.
I just want some advice on what to do with the baby while we sleep, since my husband and I don't always sleep at night, but during the day instead. It'd be great to hear from people with a similar problem.
