    Leasha... You are definately not alone matey. My DF works at night so I have no choice in the matter, but when he is home during the day he doesn't help either so I kinda feel like a single mummy.
    I try telling him how I feel and he makes an effort for a day or two and then it's back to square one again.
    It's really hard seeing your parnter toddle off to bed knowing they are not going to have broken sleep.
    Sorry I can't offer any solution hun, but just to let you know you aren't alone in this situation. Take care xx

    You are not alone My DH does not get up at nights to help... But when my DS wakes in the night it is for a feed. I dont even change him, just a feed and straight back to sleep.

    But, in saying that, he does try to help on weekends with the day nap settling, as DS can be a HUGE pain with that, and he did take a day off work on Monday to give me a "day-off" too.

    But, with the nights, I knew going into this that that was going to have to be something I did alone. And every night, I say to DS, as I kiss him goodnight,... please let mummy get some sleep tonight... I am sure one day it will work.
