    Sorry to hijack but I just wondered if any of you found that instead of DH taking time off at the start, you would have appreciated the help more later?

    I think the two-month mark would have been good for us - when DD was a bit more alert and it was harder work to get her to sleep after her play time.

    Yup Fiona, that why DF took a week off at 6 weeks and then at 10 weeks I think. It was because we figured by that time I would be in serious need of a break on each interval.
    The Wednesdays at the start were a great way to break up the week, I recommend that to everyone!
