If you&#x27;re the father, sleep on the couch (or buy another bed). Then when you&#x27;re more refreshed, you can try and help out the mother (I&#x27;m assuming breast feeding here).<p>If you&#x27;re the mother, try really hard to get some kind of daily cycle induced in the baby. So minimize breastfeeding, chatting, other activity at night.<p>YMMV. Also you need to accept that you&#x27;re going to be lacking some amount of sleep for years.
