mommys who co parent?

I'm due end of June beginning of July if they have to induce. Me and my baby father won't be together and we are very fine with that. We are chosing not to go to court because we get along really well and will share baby 50/50 we have been very set on this and mature also so we have no problems. My question is when is appropriate for me to start trading her off. Like dropping her off and picking her up and all that? This is my first baby by the way. Me and him literally live down the street from each other. It takes all but 3 or 4 minute drive to get to his house.

I'm going to coparent but I'll have it pretty easy because the baby's dad is in the military. So he'll be able to take her on his visits home of course

It also depends on if you will breastfeed or not. If you are breastfeeding baby really shouldn't be away from you for atleast the first 6 week's to establish that bond. If you get on well then why doesn't he come to see baby at your house 1-2 days a week until then?

I'm also co parenting but the father and I have  issues because of his gf. When you are ready to let him take the baby.  I told my son's father depending on when he comes the first real time  he can take him is on fathers day so that way he'd have both his kids. Afterv that it'd be one day a week  for a few hours. Around 6 months old he can have him overnight one night a week. I have my reasons to why I'm doing it that way. But ur close with him so make sure your ready.

Honestly hun it's whenever you feel ready! Not before because you'll be paranoid and panicky the whole time l. They say to be careful the first 6 weeks as to where they go as their immune systems are still devolping and they pick up germs easily. Id not set a definite timeline and wait and see how you feel about it mama! :)
