There is no such thing as shared care regarding benefits it's one person or the other. Have a look at HMRC DM guide.

It is usually the parent who has the child the most number of nights that can claim the benefits - who has your little on overnight the most? I would count the nights over a two week period as you seem to be working on that timescale.
