No. The baby is a patient and should be cared for by hospital staff. Not by another patient that just had an intensive medical procedure.[/quote]

This is such a strange perspective to me.  I had two c-sections, and my husband spent the night in the room with me and lifted our baby, changed her diaper, brought her to me. The nurses did bring her to the nursery for a little while, but I much preferred my baby with me. As for sleep, ha, I had insomnia most of my pregnancy and I was used to go without. I slept when she slept and it all worked out![/quote]

It’s strange you should be able to recover and rest after a major surgery and while you’re on pain meds you can’t take and drive a car?   It’s strange to you that some people don’t think your spouse should have to fill in for hospital staff?

Have higher expectations.  Men would never put up with this BS.  I figure women like you go along with it which is why baby friendly is even a thing. [/quote]
