Hi,
I am hoping that someone out there will both understand my dilema and be able to solve it!
I would like to share the feeding with my dp from as soon as possible from birth. My reason for this is that I think that feeding is a bonding experience, which I think dp would really like to be part of and in addition, I would love to be able to get a stint of say 4 hours sleep.
My mw thinks this is unnecessary and that I can bf and then pass baby to dp to do all the rocking back to sleep and soothing. This seems a bit daft to me as we'll both have to get up and dp misses out on the best bit. Mybe I'm being silly?
Then, if I can do it, how long is the longest I should leave between expressing / bf so I don't dry up? If I could express, sleep for 4 hours, then get up and bf / express again then I would be a very happy girl and dp would be a very happy boy.
Can anyone help? Or explain why I shouldn't entertain this idea?
