DH and I decided I would do all of the night time feedings since he works and he would do the weekends. DS is bottle fed, so he can easily help. My son is almost 6 weeks and is still getting up a couple of times a night, I'm getting really exhausted and am dealing with migraines and a cough. Addiitionally, I have to take care of our 2.5 year old daughter. I'm getting frustrated that DH isn't helping more with the last feeding around 11pm or the second nighttime feeding around 5am. I understand he is working, but I also need my rest for my health. Plus taking care of a newborn and 2.5 old isn't easy either.
Also, I still end up waking up during the weekend since DH is a sound sleeper and doesn't hear our son when he wakes up. So, I end up waking DH up.

I do newborn duty (I have the boobs) and DH does toddler duty (who still wakes up.)
DH takes the late night feeding and i take over after 12. Right now she has one 10/11 feeding, a 2/3 feeding and a 4/5 feeding. However, soon I'll be getting up to go to the gym at 5 AM, so i'll take over that 10/11 feeding, and the 2/3 fee
MH does the first night time feeding. Most nights she's only up once at this point. If she's up a second time, I do it. I also handle the last feeding before bed.

I EBF so I do everything. I could pump but it's a huge pain so it's just easier for me to get up and feed her. DD is also STTN from about 11pm to 6am so I can't really ask for much more than that at this age.

Right now our five week old is doing a 10-11ish feeding, a 2ish feeding, and a 5-6 ish feeding. I take the 10-11 ish (we're trying to go to bed a couple hours in advance of that, but it's still a work in progress), he takes the 2ish, and i take the 5-6
