Bringing toddler to 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

My hospital doesn’t allow other children to spend the night even with a support person. My husband is going to be going home every night with our 4 year old.

Answer

My hospital doesn’t allow child in the delivery room but they can come in the recovery room once they move us. I’m not scared about delivery I’m not worried about no sleep..... I’m worried about the time spent with my little man. I know he will adjust eventually but he has been my world for 3+ years now. 😭

Answer

Most hospitals won’t allow other children to stay. Most likely your husband will have to leave to be with your older one. I would call and check!

Answer

Following - we have the same situation over here.

Answer

My 22mo old would be all up in everything, so it wasn’t an option. It was my first time away from him, but hubby went home each night to relieve whatever family/friend were with him (and because he wanted a good night’s sleep and wouldn’t get it in the hospital 🙄).
