My two younger girls both slept in my arms or on my chest while we were in the hospital. The nurses weren't too happy about it, but never flat out told me I couldn't (not that that would have stopped me).

i did with both of mine, dh was in a cot with #2, and came homewith #2, because the recovery room in the hosp where i delivered #2 was not big enough for even a recliner. no sleeping over for dads at that one. when my son was 4months old and hospitalized, we coslept then too. no one said a word other than "we have this crib here you can put him in." i said thanks, we're fine, and they dropped it.
We didn't co-sleep because at the time, I didn't think we'd be a co-sleeping family...but looking back, co-sleeping is exactly what we needed to be doing...DS wouldn't sleep in the bassinet, yet I kept putting him back in it. Lesson learned...next time, we're co-sleeping from the beginning.

I had a c-section and they REFUSED to take him- well maybe if I begged they may have taken him- I was in so much pain- I could hardly get up when he would cry- thank God for him sleeping as much as he did. But I thought it was really rude of them not to take him! I know it's my baby and all but I mean between the pain/ the cathater and the IV and my thinking (although only in my head) that my cut would rip open I was in rough shape. I'm glad now to say that I spent my whole stay with him but I just wanted to sleep and they yelled when I did have him in bed with me- what was I supposed to do it was hard enough getting him IN bed with me than I was supposed to get back up and put him back in his bed? Crazy...
palma115 - that was the primary reason my girls slept with me. No way did I want them away from me, and I was in too much pain/discomfort to be getting up and down. The nurses would try to guilt trip me into putting them back in their bassinets, but I just didn't listen.

Yep I most definetly did! I got crap for it with my first 2. With the next 2 my ob and the lactation consultants 100% backed me up! With Joash no one said a word against it! I had a few of the nurses, the lc and my ob (of course) compliment about how they liked seeing the baby in bed next to mommy rather then across the room in a plastic box! LOL BTW Across the room would be about 2 feet from my bed! LOL
