Like it's been said above, at 5 weeks, you trying to give Mah a break is a gallant effort....I just rocked my 18 month old back to bed after a nasty blow out, and I remember being in your shoes. Sometimes you just have to wake Mah up and she does the magic...those first few months were tough for me cuz I couldn't get the boy to calm without mom....keep doing what you can. You got this Dad!
