I'm a father of a 5 month old. My wife and I had an agreement in the first three months. She took the night shift. (I know she's awesome.) And I'd get up with him in the morning and keep him out of the room long enough for her to get some solid sleep. This was particularly important because we were breast feeding and had to build up a supply for daycare.
Also, I assume this guy doesn't get on email when his son wakes him up in the middle of the night. It's not what I want to do at 4 am, I don't know about you.
So there are many ways this can happen, his wife stays at home. He doesn't log when he wakes up. Whatever arrangement he has with his wife it works for him and it's not our place to judge.

We did this for our second child. It makes a lot of sense to divide the work into shifts. I wish we had done the same for the first one!
