It should be illegal to expect parents back at work before babies sleep through the night.

Talking about the US obviously.

My partner just went back to work and I'm drowning now that we aren't taking shifts at night anymore (EFF--I have no idea how you goddesses that BF do it). Baby only sleeps max 4 hours, but she drinks slow and has reflux so I'm up with her usually 1.5 hours per feed. I'm running on fumes and it's definitely not sustainable. I can't imagine how much worse it's going to be when I return to work next month. If I were my employer I wouldn't want me to be at work either--I'm definitely going to be useless from exhaustion. How does anyone do it??

Edit: Since people were asking--before we were doing shifts where I would try to go to sleep early and he would sleep late, but I had issues falling asleep so he'd stay up later to let me still get sleep. We'd trade off at the 3/4am feeding. That won't work anymore since he has to get up early for work so I suggested the current schedule where I take nights. We'll probably try something else next week since it didn't really work this week. He's literally a super dad and very involved partner, the problem isn't me vs him, it's us vs capitalism/work culture.
