Split nights with your partner

This was such an unlock the second time around, allowing both my partner and I to get 4-5 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night. Here’s what we did: baby slept in a basket in our living room (we don’t have a bed in the baby’s room so this worked for us). First shift was 10 pm - 2 am. On-duty parent slept on couch in living room and tended to baby as needed, off-duty parent slept in bedroom. At 2, on-duty parent woke up off-duty to swap places. This worked so well for us we wish we had done it the first time around vs. both getting woken up every time the baby fussed or cries.
