This could be a problem

Yeah when it comes to lack of sleep, every stereotype you ever heard about newborns is real.

With our daughter, my wife and I basically took turns. I had what we called "first shift" when I'd get off work at 4 and watch the baby until 12-1am while my wife slept. Then my wife would subsequently pick up "second shift" and stay up from 1am until maybe 6-7am while I slept and would go off to work and either a nanny/family member would pick things up from there.

Start sleep training early and never let your kid sleep with you in your bed. We started sleep training for my daughter at 9 months and after adjusting for about a week, she began to sleep on her own and my wife and I basically got our lives back.
