Gov hospital keeping baby with you

Is ok to keep baby in nusery rm instead of bringing to us and leave it to us all the way? My friend say there is extra charges if we choose to put in nursery rm handle by nurse rather than our self. Is this true? Intending to rest as much as possible before returning home to look aft as this round only has helper no confinement lady.. As my husband has to return home look after my first kid, he cant stay in hospital too.

Not sure about the extra charge but the reason hospitals make you room with baby is because the first few days of bonding is really essential so you can do as much skin on skin, latching, snuggles as possible as these will promote baby's growth. Nurses can help you with bathing, diaper change and feeding. Baby will mostly sleep so you can still rest while hugging baby.
