My wife and I have been using a “pocket nanny” for shifts. It’s basically just multiple timers to keep track of when the baby last ate or had a diaper change. It’s nice when I get up early to get a quick idea of how long I have to get a bottle together. We also used it as an alarm to make sure he was eating often enough at the start.
With the shifts it really helps to try and optimize your own sleep too. My wife and I both sleep in eye masks now, which helps not wake your partner up if you need light in the bedroom. We’ve also found it makes taking a nap when the opportunity presents itself a little easier.
