Bring toddler to the hospital?

Question

Has anyone ever had their toddler (2 years old in our case) stay with them at the hospital after baby #2 was born?
We are in an area with no family and our friends aren't able to help us out.
We are trying to figure out if it's realistic to think our 2 year old could sleep there with us, or if my husband should just go home every night with him.

Answer

Check the hospital policy. Some don’t allow visitors under a certain age to stay overnight

Answer

Most hospitals only let siblings visit for a short time. It’s probably more realistic to send hubby and toddler home each night so they can get a good sleep and you can have some private bonding time with baby. You’ll have plenty of help with nurses

Answer

After you give birth, nurse and doctors will be in and out all night. It’s very hard to sleep there. There’s so much going on. I think you’d be better off having dad go home with her.

Answer

I would definitely check with your hospital and their policy on something like that. Many hospitals absolutely don’t allow it, but some do.

Answer

My Hosptial doesn’t allow children to stay over night. I’d check with the hospital policy,  but it would prob be better sleep for everyone if your husband and toddler left at night.

Answer

Check your hospital policy. I had my husband come home and stay with my older daughter after I had my second.

Answer

My toddler was there for the delivery but wasn’t allowed to stay overnight. I don’t think he would’ve liked it anyway, no place to run around and be a toddler. My sister came and watched him at our house overnight.

Answer

My hospital allowed it. I sent my husband home with her at night though because I didnt want our newborn and myself to wake her while learning a routine. She stayed with me and was there as I gave birth to her little sis though
