Nightmare. Think ice chips all over the floor and her running off down corridors every two minutes. I highly recommend short visits if you can swing it. littlebug on "How much was your older LO at the hospital for birth of sibs?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-was-your-older-lo-at-the-hospital-for-birth-of-sibs#post-2480179 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 14:27:59 +0000 littlebug 2480179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A was born around 5pm on Tuesday. My ILs brought D (3 years old) over to the hospital Wednesday morning for about an hour. We went home Thursday and my ILs brought him back home around dinner time. He went to daycare on Friday so Hubs and I could settle in at home with the baby.

She LOVED the hospital due to the hospitality room with free ice cream, snacks, and milk cartons ;) but she did have a rough time seeing me in the bed/connected to IV. once I was off of it (I begged my nurse to let me get it out early) and I would sit in the chair instead of the bed when she came so I looked more normal.

Key word- planning. If it isn't working out, we'll have backup plans, if nothing else, DH can take LO1, but right now, that's the plan! We've never been apart.

T visited me the next morning for a bit...on Wednesday. I was discharged by like 11 am on Thursday so we didn't bother with a visit that day. It felt like plenty from a visiting perspective, though of course I missed him.

My mom brought her, so there was no need for her to stay longer. red_seattle on "How much was your older LO at the hospital for birth of sibs?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-was-your-older-lo-at-the-hospital-for-birth-of-sibs#post-2479860 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:53:51 +0000 red_seattle 2479860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 3 hours, both days I was in the hospital. Basically, he stayed until he got bored and grumpy. In hindsight, we should have throught to bring stuff for him to do (an activity book, etc.). travellingbee on "How much was your older LO at the hospital for birth of sibs?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-was-your-older-lo-at-the-hospital-for-birth-of-sibs#post-2479814 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:31:24 +0000 travellingbee 2479814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He came up twice. lovehoneybee on "How much was your older LO at the hospital for birth of sibs?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-was-your-older-lo-at-the-hospital-for-birth-of-sibs#post-2479807 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:29:09 +0000 lovehoneybee 2479807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I had a C-section, and my mom picked him up from school and brought him to visit an hour or so after I was settled in my room. It was important to D that E be the first one to meet her. He probably stayed maybe 45 minutes? Someone brought him to visit every day we were there (3 days), and he was there between half an hour and an hour every time (he liked to push her rolling bassinet around the ward). yin on "How much was your older LO at the hospital for birth of sibs?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-was-your-older-lo-at-the-hospital-for-birth-of-sibs#post-2479696 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 10:36:40 +0000 yin 2479696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO was 2.5 years old, and I had a 2 day hospital stay. On the first day, FIL brought LO to meet the baby, and they stayed for most of the day. We had to kick them out after dinner. It was a pleasant visit, and LO was really excited. My FIL just didn't know where to go or what to do, and that's why he stayed for so long. The next day they came to visit again, and this time it was only for a few hours. Our situation was very unusual. oliviaoblivia on "How much was your older LO at the hospital for birth of sibs?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-was-your-older-lo-at-the-hospital-for-birth-of-sibs#post-2479689 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 10:34:13 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2479689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ They came for lunch and stayed maybe two hours.

Once right after the birth and helped us get up to the room (so cute to have her push the button to sing the song and push the bassinet with help). And then I think another time when family came they brought her up. cascademom on "How much was your older LO at the hospital for birth of sibs?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-was-your-older-lo-at-the-hospital-for-birth-of-sibs#post-2479662 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 10:25:04 +0000 cascademom 2479662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ E visited J the day after his birth for a few hours.

I'm likely going to have a RCS, which will probably come with a 3-4 day stay. I'm wondering how much he should visit. How much did your older LO visit?
