We didn't have older kids then, so it didn't matter.<br /> DS#1 and DS#2 (feb 2012 and late December 2013 bdays) didn't have any restrictions </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-visiting-hospital-for-winter-baby#post-2365057 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 14:46:08 +0000 rattles 2365057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Siblings were allowed to visit, but no other children under 12 were. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-visiting-hospital-for-winter-baby#post-2365029 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 14:28:08 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2365029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The official paper in L&amp;D in the beginning of October said nobody under 12 or 14 but they let my dd visit. They went by as long as people were well. Not 3 weeks later she gave him his first cold though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-visiting-hospital-for-winter-baby#post-2364991 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 14:11:48 +0000 FaithFertility 2364991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our hospital had a 12 and under rule for non siblings were not allowed to be in L&amp;D! </p> <p>I am guessing because they are not fully vaccinated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-visiting-hospital-for-winter-baby#post-2364949 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 13:47:44 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2364949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo2 was born in February and siblings were not allowed at the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-visiting-hospital-for-winter-baby#post-2364915 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 13:11:08 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2364915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD2 was a late December 2014 baby and DD1 was welcome at our hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-visiting-hospital-for-winter-baby#post-2364898 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 12:59:55 +0000 Miss Ariel 2364898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd was born in December and my niece and nephew came to visit at 6 and 4.

N was in the room when E was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-visiting-hospital-for-winter-baby#post-2364884 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 12:54:13 +0000 creativemomma15 2364884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was born in December 2013 and DS was allowed to visit. They never even talked about the possibility of not allowing it. DD2 is due end of Feb/March so I am hoping both our kids can come in and visit then too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/siblings-visiting-hospital-for-winter-baby#post-2364881 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 12:51:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 2364881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had a winter / cold and flu season baby, we're older siblings allowed to come visit? I asked about that this morning and my midwife said it depends on the flu season (I am due mid December). Curious how often kids are banned from visiting.</p> <p>(I don't blame them for having this policy, btw. I'd rather all the moms and babies stay healthy, I just also really want my 2 year old to be able to meet her sister at the hospital if possible). </p>
