What kind of insensitive moms are writing these posts? A mother will want to see her OWN CHILD when she is in the hospital having her 2nd, 3rd etc child. WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE? I hope the policies change so that moms who would like can bring their children in to see them and meet their new sibling. |

While I understand the reason for restricting kids during the cold/flu season, I really hope they loosen the rules once it's over. My husband recently got sent overseas so my toddler will be staying with her grandparents while I deliver. Things have been tough on her enough as it is, so I HATE the thought of not seeing her for a couple days, even though I will enjoy a bit of respite to bond with my new one.
What makes everyone assume that kids are always sick, that their parents let them wipe their snot all over the place, or that their parents WANT them running their hands all over the place in a hospital that is already FULL OF GERMS? |

kids are germ factories. they don't belong in hospitals, especially locations where there are newborns.
if you want to expose your newborn to your kids, feel free to do so once you are in your own home. i would not take my kids to visit a new baby in a hospital, even if it was his/her sibling. it is just common decency. |

glad to know i'm not alone. what's wrong with these women? they yell at people for bringing children to the mall play area, they wash the children with germ-x and they don't mind taking them to the hospital? you know how often they get sick for going to day care and stuff, why the rules don't apply when you want to introduce the new sibling? 36 hours of wait won't traumatize anybody. |
