[quote=Anonymous]Your best bet is to hire whoever cares for your older kids during the day (or babysitter if you’re a SAHM). I paid our nanny some serious $$$ to stay at our house the 4 days I was in the hospital for a c-section. A childless friend and two neighbors offered to be back up if our nanny was sick or something. I’m sure others would have agreed to be back up if I asked. The funny thing is the friend isn’t even someone I’m thar close to, and I’m not that close to those neighbors either. Some people are just really kind and helpful! You can hire a sibling doula. I only found one, and it was like $800 for only 12 hours of care until someone else could arrive. So that’s probably not enough time with your family being out of town. But here’s their website: https://www.family-ways.com/sibling-doulas [/quote]
