My husband is flipping out........................?

you baby should not be at a hospital at that age he is too suseptable to air borne and skin contact pathogens

your husband is in the right to be upset but you should be upset as well, to clam both your nerves call you pediatricians office and ask for adive on how to handle the situatio best when family is in the hospital care

the chances of your son 'getting anything' from the hospital is slim to none, so if that is your husbands excuse he needs to relax. the only problem i can see with a 2 yr old in a hospital to visit is the noise and disruption to the other paitients. what would his feelings be if you had just had a second baby, would your first child be allowed to visit you in the hospital? try finding out what his issue exactly is. maybe itis that he doesnt like your mom, or is afraid of germs and sickness in the hospital. after you find out what it is, it will be easier to difuse his temper about it. allow him to fully say his piece before giving a response, and at least he will know he has been heard. then i would suggest looking at compermises that can be met and agreed apon by you both.

I don't see his point at all. Not that you want your child exposed to dangerous things of any nature, but a hospital is not the worst place a child can go. I think too many people are overly protective of their children when it comes to exposing them to the world of germs. As long as your son is generally healthy himself then there should be no issue with him going to visit his grandmother in the hospital.

My son was three days old and we took him with us to Denny's restaurant (non-smoking section, of course). He went everywhere with me for the first three months. He is now 12 years old and rarely gets sick or has colds. I think it's because his body has been exposed to general germs since he was very young which gave his body a chance to learn how to fight it off.

Its not a good idea to take a small baby to the hospital were there are alot of sick people and germs. He shouldn't be flipping out but concerned that the baby may get sick is propably how he is feeling.

I don't blame him. That's a young baby to take to a hospital. Even if she's not on a critical floor,hospitals are full of germs.

One of the germiest places is a hospital, no matter what floor they are on. I don't think he is flipping out, but he is being a concerned dad.

I wouldnt take my baby to a hospital right now and he is 2 months too.

hiya

when we were hospital with our little girl they had us in a room 'isolation' as we were in a childrens ward and were told babys so young, there immune systems are weak and we werent even allowed to take her out in the corridor!

Im with your husband on this.

Tough question, but they say babies et sick easier so you dont want to risk it.

I can see his point.
