Most days she will already be asleep, those days I will just need someone there with her in case she wakes up or needs a bottle. Some days she may not be asleep yet so I’ll need you to put her to bed. She is a great sleeper, give her a bottle, lay her down in bed and she goes to sleep on her own. We have a teenager but he is self sufficient, he will keep to himself mostly. While you are at our home you can just kick back and watch tv or read just hang out in the living area. Very easy. I am starting to work a night shift soon. My husband works doubles.
