Bring young children to hospital to visit people

Hi, I have Toddler n recently my Father-in-law wAs hospitalised. I told hubby that I prefer not to bring my toddler (less than 2 years old) to hospital as she has the tendency to put fingers into her mouth . I prefer to get someone to babysit her for a while while we visit Father-in-law. But hubby was v unhappy n said I'm Too paranoid .. how many of u actually don't mind / mind bringing young kids to hospital to visit people ?

I don't mind but I will keep the visit duration short, say to around 15min. If LO is too young, I will try to carry him or her to minimize LO touching here and there at the hospital. After the visit, I will probably head straight home to give LO a quick shower. Sometimes, the act of bringing our kids to visit their grandparents on such circumstances will warm their hearts, especially if the kids are close to their grandparents. On the positive side, it may help them to recover faster! Would you feel the same way in the case of your own parents?
