Actually, if the dad is the primary caregiver for this bub (and it sounds 
like he is) and remains a constant in the child's life then the rotation of 
breastfeeders is likely not of any great significance. This sort of communal 
wet nursing is quite common in many parts of the world (my daughter's best 
friend was fed by the village as an infant because her mother was very 
ill)....the common problem in such situations is if there is not one person 
committed to the child's well being then no one feels responsible and 
failure to thrive can result.
