Sorry my Husband is the best he does the early morning feed usually around 4-5ish. He also gets up with me to make me a cup of tea if she wakes sooner.

My partner had no choice to wake id elbow him!!!! but he wouldnt get up (luckily evie sleeps 12 hours now) He did for the first week, trying to make a good impression i think but he doesnt seem to bother anymore... and hes never changed a pooey nappy... she is now 12 weeks old, and hes probably made about 3 bottles.
Your not on your own. They like to act thick!!!
TAMZYNS where did you find your husband.... he sounds like one in a million. Ill have to get me one hehe.

Blimey Girl i would kick him up the bum!!! My Hubby makes both babies bottles up for 24 hours (we have 11 weeks old and 13 month)and if he doesn't he texts and apologises in the morning, he also takes it in turns to do nappies pooey 1's as well. he had the day off today sent me back to bed and bathed both babies.

I think i should clone him and sell him on ebay what yoou think? hehe!!!

At night I would do the feed and then get my husband to change the nappy, but I stopped bothering to ask him after he was hobbling around doubled over moaning that getting up in the night was giving him indigestion!

Mine is fab. For the first two weeks after the birth he did everything including changing every nappy, the thing he couldn't do was the feeding as I was breastfeeding for the first two weeks. Now we have changed to bottle feeding, he gets up for the early morning feed around 6am and takes Imogen downstairs to let me sleep until he goes to work at around 8am. Away from the baby he cleans the kitchen and bathroom (including the oven) on a regular basis and is a dab hand with the hoover. Like Tamzyns I am thinking of renting him out. Imogen thinks he is pretty cool as well!!
