[quote=Anonymous]OP here! Thanks for all the input. Here is how it went...basically, fine. Would I recommend sending your husband home after a major surgery while caring for a newborn, no. Was I ok, yes.

We are not local to DC anymore so it wasn't a DC hospital. it was a 'baby friendly' hospital but it did have a nursery, which had been shut due to covid BUT opened just before I gave birth. I did use the nursery on night 2 when DH left b/c baby wouldn't settle with me in the room. Night 3 I didn't need it and kept baby with me. DH stayed night 1 and that was critical. However, I found the nurses to be very helpful...I was paging right and left when he left for refills on water, help picking up baby, etc. They seemed happy to help with these things and there was a good stock of floating nurse externs who were perfect for these jobs. I will admit I even enjoyed my alone time with baby. Maybe I also got a good group of nurses b/c everyone seemed very happy to make me tea, bring snacks on off hours, move the baby back and forth, hold the baby while I did a lap around the halls.[/quote]
