Gov hospital baby will have to stay with you?

For KKH, yes. One of the nurses told me that they’re going to close the nursery room some time in the future. Only opened for those in need of phototherapy or special cases. They encourage rooming with mummies now as they want new mummies to get used to it when they leave the hospital. You think your baby will be 24/7 looked after in the nursery? No... they let the babies cry because they have 6 million other things to do than to tend to your hungry baby. They will let the babies cry it out for a while that’s why most of the time you hear babies screaming in the nursery, because short of staff and they’re also too busy to tend to 6 million babies at one go.. can’t blame them though. Still super thankful for having them all day everyday. Rooming with mummies can be tough especially for c-sect first-time mothers (like me 😣) cause can’t move much and felt super guilty for always calling the nurses to carry baby and pass to me, change and feed baby. But hey, I’d rather tend to my baby first than do anything else when she cries, right? When you have a baby, what is sleep? Hahahaha.. Anyway, look on the bright side, at least it prepares you for what’s to come at home. Also, it gives you that precious time alone with baby for a couple of days in the hospital.
