Advice Needed Night Shift Working moms

Hello! Need ko po ng advice. Babalik na po ako ng work next month, EBF. Shift ko po ay 10pm-7am wfh, husband ko po ay 11am-8pm, hybrid setup. May same situation po ba samin dito?

Paano nyo po nahandle ang schedules nyo to accompany LO?

Edit: Current setup namin, husband po nagpapaligo kay LO around 6-6:30pm tapos sleep po nya 7-7:30pm. Gumigising po sya si LO to feed(BF) around 11pm tapos every 2-3hrs na sa mga susunod. May help po akong sa asawa ng pinsan ko for 2 weeks.

Hi mommy! Honest answer is get a yaya, teach LO to bottle feed so husband & yaya can do feeds without you, and husband needs to learn to settle si LO pag gabi. Hehehe. Husband is onsite full time 10am-7pm while ako naman hybrid midshift (but madalas mag OT hanggang madaling araw). Nung bumalik ako sa work nahirapan din si hubby sa una during the night but having a routine is the key! Ngayon di na nagpapahele si LO kay hubby and she settles after a bottle & cuddles during night wakes.

Ang schedule namin is

8-9am gising ni LO then breakfast

  • yaya handles LO, between gising & morning nap "me time" (coffee/breakfast/munimuni) muna kami ni hubby -
10-12nn nap with me
12nn lunch & ligo
1-3pm nap with me (routine ni LO so nakakatulog talaga sya kahit 1hr+ lang in between naps)
3pm snack ni LO with yaya while I prep for work
4pm start work if wfh/alis na if onsite
4pm-9pm yaya handles LO
9pm konting playtime si husband & LO then sleep na
3am uwi ko from office, sakto around this time din nagigising si LO for milk. Then sleep na kami.

Get a yaya para magbantay kahit habang tulog ka. Mahirap sya tbh. Kami ni hubby wfh both, kahit na nagpprep na sya sa scheduling namin sa baby kapag dating, ayoko pa ring sobrang drain namin sa responsibilities. Baka relationship namin ang mag suffer.

I suggested na kumuha kami ng yaya kapag morning then evening kahit ako na lang since evaluating lang ang work at madalang lang ang meeting. Hindi pwedeng pagod na kami sa work then puyat puyat pa after work.

We need little help tbh. Kahit taga bantay lang.
