Return to work sleep struggles
Hi everyone!
I’m a FTM with a LO who is 3.5 months old (14 weeks). My husband returned to work at 4 weeks PP and I just returned this past week. He works a standard 8-4 M-F job, but my schedule is all over the place and I will consistently not be home for bed time for the foreseeable future.
My husband is an amazing father, but my baby has gotten extremely used to me for naps and going down for bed. Now that I’m not there he is struggling to fall asleep since he is so bonded to me/my scent. He loves being with his dad but refuses to fall asleep with him and gets very fussy as he gets over-tired. This is breaking my husband’s heart and I want them to be able to figure this out because at this point I feel like I need to quit.
Sorry for all the background, but has anyone else had experience with this or something similar? What can we do?
