In this case, your baby will be with you in your room all the time. You will be able to feed, hold, and care for your baby. If you become extra tired, the baby can go back to the nursery for a few hours. Other hospitals allow the baby with you any time or for as long as you wish during the day. Still others may only allow the baby with you at feeding time.
