I wish my hubby can be more hands-on and supportive.. my hubby's idea of helping is by staying at home (not going out) with me.. all he does at home is to play iPad, surf youtube, online shopping.. while i do the feeding (via bottle), change diaper, bath, coaxing the baby to sleep 24/7.. I am so stressed out.. how can I talk to him about being more hands on? I need to have time out too..

the only way you can talk to him is by talking to him. tell him that you are too tired and need a break occasionally. he may be scared to take on the daddy duties, but you too are a new mom and tell him so. say that you will help him get comfortable, and he can start by bottle feeding the baby (you can pump). or he can help pat the baby to sleep, or change diaper or clothes, and if nothing else, can play with baby while you get to sleep.
