All husbands do not sleep the entire night. There are some who help their wives out by taking care of their kids.

Prashant Champa, father of six-month-old Rahul, has been doing a night shift ever since Rahul was two months old. Prashant says, "Rahul never used to sleep at nights till he turned six months old. I used to do a night shift trying to put him to sleep. I wanted my wife to sleep which otherwise will affect her health adversely."

You can share the responsibility by taking turns to feed your child, change nappies and putting her to sleep.

When your child is a toddler, it is more about play and he is likely to make a bigger fuss while going to sleep or eating. If you are a housewife, then you can take care of the fussy eating part, while your husband can put him to sleep when he gets back from work.

Rayan Rodrigues, father of two-year-old Reuben says, "Whenever I come back early from work, I take Reuben for a drive on my bike. I also give him a bath. At night, it is my work to put him to sleep by singing songs."

Apart from this, you can probably take turns visiting the paediatrician for routine check-ups.
