Same here. Prior to birth my wife and I were told by the medical professionals that baby will be waking up frequently for feedings, and we need sleep too, so we should sleep when baby sleeps. After a C-section once my wife were back in our postpartum room, no one seemed concerned at all with her sleep. Every 15-20 minutes there was another visitor. At this point she had been awake more than a day, had a few hours of extreme exertion before a pivot to surgery, and was full of pain killing narcotics. She could barely stay awake. I ended up being her sleep guardian. Every time I heard the sliding door to our room crack open I was on my feet to turn people away. In retrospect it was good exercise in being assertive with authority figures in service of others. I think I’ll be doing plenty of that as a father.
