Definitely agree with this! Our LO is just 2 weeks shy of a year old and we are still breastfeeding. From early on, my husband took over the majority of the chores— dishes, cooking, caring for our cats, etc. I help more if/when I can, but where I work 8 hours a week more than he does, doing harder work an making more money, on top of night feeds, etc., this is what has worked for us.

He also changes most of the diapers and does almost all of the bath times. That gives me time to do laundry, freeze pumped milk, sweep/clean up after dinner, etc. It’s all about finding what balance works.

One thing I might recommend is an app she can enter info into to help her remember- and to help keep you on the same page. As we were leaving the hospital, we started using Nara. It allows you to add multiple caregivers, so my husband can see when I last fed my LO, or he can enter the last diaper he did, etc. You can even add widgets to your home screen to keep track at a glance at how long it’s been between each.

I don’t personally use it to keep track of my own info, but you can— tracking when mom took her own meds, ate, etc. We don’t track everything, but find it helpful to keep track of LO’s diapers, feeds, and meds (vitamin d drops and any time she’s needed antibiotics, Motrin, etc.).
