Leasha...
We were fortunate enough that my DH was able to take 4 weeks off when DS was born. Our routine for those first 4 weeks was, DH would get DS when he woke, I would feed him, DH would then take him and burp him so I could go back to sleep.

Now that DH is back at work, and he has a varied roster, our daily life is different.
If DH has worked a dayshift, where he gets up at 4am, and gets home at 7pm, he is still cooking some meals, especially on the days where DS has been a velcro baby. DS is still in our room in his bassinette, so when DH is on dayshift, I get up to him, but DH has on the odd occassion got DS and handed him to me, even though I don't expect him too.

On nightshift, DH gets up around 4pm, and gets home from work around 7am. Most of the time he will look after DS so I can have a quick shower in the morning, then he goes off to bed himself.

On DH's RDO's, he will usually get up to DS, and hand him to me. He usually doesn't burp him during the night anymore, but even just him getting DS and handing him to me for a feed...well it's nice.

Hope you can sort something out Leasha
