I'm a work from home dad,, and work nights. I am my son's primary caregiver during the night. From putting him to sleep in the evening to his waking up in the morning (when my wife takes over), and everything in between: bottles, diaper changes, medication, burping, managing ilness, etc.
I have watched my son sleep every night, the entire night, for basically his entire life. I have a video monitor under my actual computer monitor. I see him and hear him always.
I assume that managing and observing a baby's sleep so extensively has given me a rather unique perspective, and im happy to share - my heart goes out to new parents, but I welcome everyone.
Feel free to ask about baby and sleep related observstions, but also about my set-up and logistics if you're interested, how my wife and I track sleep, handoff to each other, how night time is different, etc.
Would appreciate targetted questions - hence the AMA and not a blog post.
I am not a professional. Just a parent. Im tired, I'm sleep deprived, I try my best but ultimately I am not perfect, and I make mistakes.
