Help!

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and me and the father recently broke up because neither of us is happy and didnt want to bring a baby into an unhappy household. I'm not going to breast feed but don't know how long it should be before the dad takes him over night...and how do I talk to him about it? We are still friends

    I'm sorry you're going through this. I don't have any advice other than to suggest that you try the single parenting board: https://forums.thebump.com/categories/single-parents

    I think if you don't plan to breastfeed then there is no reason dad can't start taking baby fairly soon. It will depend on your relationship and probably leave time etc. You definitely need to have this conversation with him. Maybe set a time to talk and ask what his expectations are, let him know what your expectations are and hopefully they are very similar.
