How to split up nightly duties for a newborn baby when you're a SAHM and nursing?

I am going to be a stay at home mom, while my husband works and provides for us. I will be strictly feeding as well. How will we split up duties throughout the night with the baby? Alot of people say it makes things way easier to help eachother out throughout the night for nightly feedings, changings etc.. How would this work when I am feeding and he has work early in the morning? I don't think it's fair to make him have to get up all night (although I am sure he will) to help with the baby when he has to get up and go to work for 10 hours during the day, and all I have to do the next day is take care of the baby (as in I can be sleepy and mope around the house because I'm at home). What do you suggest? It's not like I can say okay I'll take all feedings & changings from this time to this time, and then you can do the rest of the night, he doesn't have a for the baby to feed off of (haha) .... Eventually I will make bottles for during the night feedings for him to help out but that won't be for a little while anyways... What do you and your hubby do if you're a stay at home mom and strictly feeding?
