Sharing the night
When there are two adults in the house, the night does not have to land on one person. These guides cover the simple ways households split the night with a baby: long blocks, alternate nights, a fixed swap time, and what to do when the plan falls apart at 3am. If you are on your own, there are options for a helper too.
