New dad training every few weeks.

I'm with Mr. This weekend. It's the second time. Two weeks ago we went over things I'd Learned that C liked and didn't like. Seems he didn't listen then and whenever we talk on the phone. Baby woke up at 245 and I had to wake him up to to get the baby and he got the bottle of breast milk from the fridge. I had no idea he put it in the fridge. He pops ice cold milk in the kids mouth and C freaks out. He's be dr had refrigerated milk before. I'm sure it was a shock. So I'm trying to warm it up while mr is asking forgiveness and then I give it back but it's still pretty cool. I watch as he tries again. C drinks for a few mins and pulls off repeatedly again because its cold. So mr without a word just puts him down and rolls over and goes to sleep. By this time I'm I attached to the pump so when C starts up again I have to wake him up and make him go over to the baby. Instead of just getting the baby and bringing him to bed to feed he kneels beside the other bed reaching for the baby to feed him. Again two mins and mr. Is back in bed and C is quietly kicking. Wth?! I was so looking forward to help and watching mr bond with baby on these weekends but I guess it's me barking orders at him like his commanders. I wanted these weekends to be happy and fun but if he's choosing sleep over the baby I just don't know what to do. He said he'd help me when I'm here and that he wants to learn but he's also a sleep deprived sailor. Ugh.
PS I hate pumping.

    Hang in there. Try to enjoy your time, I know you don't get it often enough. Try talking to him while you guys are awake and alert about what you'd like to happen in a non expectation sort of way. Maybe he'll take the initiative to help and won't feel pre

    I'm sure this sucks for you right now, but might I suggest you take a different approach?  I am by no means an expert, but after two kids I've learned a thing or two about how to best work with my DH and "giving orders" will only make him tune out
