I'm really sorry, but I hate this advice. If I'm sleeping when my baby is, when am I doing the laundry? having a shower? relaxing and watching TV with my wife? ect.

That's the neat part, you don't!

Agreed, "sleep when the baby sleeps" is the advice we got the most, but doesn't really hold water.

With our first, my partner and I took turns napping or doing chores while the other was on baby duty. When the second came along, that advice was a joke, it was more like one parent per child and shower after the older one goes to sleep.
