'We gave ourselves roles when our baby came along to stop us breaking up'

A new mum says she and her fiancé assigned roles to get through the tough first weeks - and to stop them breaking up. Laura Denham, 36, gave birth to son Weston in February.

She and partner Carter Rudnick, 33, worried the new responsibilities could split them up - so they each picked jobs. Laura handled breastfeeding, soothing and putting Weston to bed.

Carter went to him when he cried in the night, changed his nappies and did household chores. Lauren, a recruiter, said both took one or two hour breaks whenever things got too much. She said the only things her and Carter Rudnick, a real estate broker, would do differently are paying for cleaners and meal delivery.
