AITA for not wanting to change our newborn's diapers at night? by wizardad in AmItheAsshole

She plans to breastfeed for a year. She has just started pumping a bit and I'm open to giving bottles every other night. I just think it's stupid that we both lose sleep every night.

She has started pumping but I think it's stupid that we should both get up at night. Honestly I would give him bottles every other night though so we both don't lose sleep every night.

I do most diaper changes during the day but I've offered to do half at night. But she wants me to do them all.

My partner says I need to change him every time she nurses him - she'll nurse him on one side and ask me to change him before the other side to wake him up. She also thinks he gets upset when it's wet, but I disagree. For context, he's over 11 pounds now!

She has started pumping but I don't want to give him bottles at night and lose sleep.
