May I give you a little advice? I have four children. The first baby I wanted to keep by my side 24 hours a day in the hospital. I did not want her in the nursery except when they needed to take vitals. A nurse told me, you should get as much sleep as possible and let us take care of her and just rest. You will have plenty of time to bond. We will bring her when you need to feed. Well, l I did not take her advice and wished I had. The second, third and fourth baby lol, I had them kept in the hospital nursery as long as possible because I knew I needed to get much needed rest. Just an FYI in case you wanted to hear a different perspective.
We're having a home birth and plan to have him sleep in a bassinet in our bedroom. Thankfully my husband and mom will be helping so I can get rest after the birth. My mom lives upstairs from us so she'll be easily accessible.
