So it seems to be the case that many hospitals are limiting visits to the postnatal ward after birth, so I wanted to share some ideas for partners bonding with babies if they are sadly separate from you both for some hours or days after birth itself.

In an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, most hospitals have now put in place restrictions to limit birth partners to 1 or 2 healthy people only.

What does this mean if you want your partner and a doula? What does this mean if you now don’t have childcare for your other children? What if your partner gets a cough?
