- Is this really true????? I cannot believe you are not allowed in the nursery.
- It sounds awful. With my first born I put her in the nursery for one night and
- the rest of the time she was with me. My second stayed in the nursery the whole
- time as he yelled so much he woke the whole ward up, BUT I stayed in the
- nursery the whole time with him and yes that includes the night he got
- dehydrated and I sat up all night with him.
- Noone but me ever bathed my babies or changed their nappies until I got home
- where any help was welcomed.
- My visitors cuddled both kids and gooed and gaaaaed over them.

- Goodness this sounds awful
