I wouldnt deliver at a hospital that wouldnt allow me to cosleep with my own child. Both hospitals I delivered at allowed co-sleeping. Nursery was a ghost town, lights were never on. Both hospitals encouraged `rooming-in` with your baby. My absolute most favorite memory is my first night with my oldest son, having him in my arms while we both slept our first night together...If its a liability thing, they were negligent as all heck at my first delivery. I had my son via cesarean at midnight and was completely alone with my baby in my arms for the entire night.

Our health system has a policy against it although honestly maybe it`s for the best if nobody else is there to watch over baby? I know a lot of mom`s are on percocet, oxy drugs, etc. post-delivery. We did have a few sleeping mommies drop babies when I worked in Maternity (extremely rare & it was usally on to the bed). I have absolutely nothing against co-sleeping, just bring up another perspective. To be fair, I don`t think most hospitals feel it is wrong as a practice, it`s probably just the liability involved and something Legal Affairs makes them discourage.

my son was in the baby bassinett thingy the whole time, unless i was awake..then my dh or i was holding him... i didnt start co sleeping tell i got home... the nurses or dr`s never mentioned it to me... i had a c-section so even if i wanted to co sleep at that time it wouild have been really uncomfortable,if Ean woke up my dh was right there to hand him to me...

With my first no they had a lot of rules about even holding the baby. With my 2nd they said its your baby you can sleep how ever you want.

I was able to at my hospital. He was with me the whole time! I had a c/s and it was too hard to put him in and out of the bassinet. They had no problem with it!

There are some that still do.. I was talking about holding the baby while you and the baby were sleeping not just rooming in.

Do hospitals take your baby outta your room now a days? My hospital didnt even have a nursery so it wasn`t an option(not that I would of done it but just saying)

yes but the bed was so small it got uncomfortable so I would put him in his little bed they have for him...

Honestly, it was why we decided to start coleeping. We did it in the hospital(well me and the baby) and I fell in love. It works for us. At 14 months he is still in our bed. Closer to two we are going to get him a toddler bed for our room but I am not ready yet

He was in the room with us the whole time, but I had to have a c-section and was still dazed from all the meds. I was too nervous.

The hospital I was in the baby is with you @ all times. Even if they told I could not co sleep I would have told them to get lost. Its my baby =) I BF laying down. I usually put them in the baby bed if I was awake . Since I would be getting up alot!
