O.k. to bring ds to visit baby?

My friend had her baby last night!  DH and I are going to go see her this afternoon, but I started wondering if it's o.k. to bring ds.  When we were in the hospital with him, he spent the first few days in the special care nursery and no one under 16 could go in there.  So I'm not sure if there's even a rule against it under normal circumstances.  DH and I agree we would have been o.k. with it if friends had brought their babies with them.  But the only friends who had a baby at the time came and saw us at home and they did bring their baby.

    Is there a way you could ask? them? I personally wouldn't have a problem with someone bringing a baby to see me but I can see how I'd be worried about taking the baby to see someone else.

    I think it's ok

    I personally was so tired and exhausted.  I was very happy my friend didn't bring her son (who was 10 months old) to visit.  I was on bed rest before (high risk pre-e) and they were still highly watching my blood pressure.  Just my opinion.  However, if everything was fine and I had no complications I probably would feel differently.

    Depends on the hospital really.

    I took DD to see my SIL when she had her baby. They weren't going to let her in because she didn't have her chickenpox vaccination yet (wierd).

    But, my BIL and SIL and I talked to the nurses and they let me "sneak" her in.

    I think it's fine, especially if both you and your DH are there.  That way if your little one starts getting fussy or crazy, one of you can take him down to the lobby.

    I forgot to ask her when I called, and I dont' want to call and bug her again.  And she doesn't do texts, so I can't do that.  I'll probably just bring him.  Thanks ladies.

    Check with the hospital on their policy. We went to visit MIL after her hysterectomy. The maternity/women's health wing was all together. They did not allow anyone under 16 unless they were the actual patient's child. 

    Needless to say we were very bummed we dragged DS out that night. And grandma was very bummed DS couldn't come lift her spirits. DH and I had to take turns waiting with DS so we could visit separately.

    I say no.  I know our hospital only let younger kids in if they were the siblings.  When we went to visit a friend, we just took turns.  They will probably have some sort of waiting room, one can stay with your LO and the other can go visit with the new mommy.
