When you leave the hospital
Hi Ladies
I hope as ever you ladies can help me!!
When you leave the hospital with your new bundle of joy I would like to know what the rules are!
Do you have to have a baby car seat with you when you leave or can you get away with having a from birth car seat in the car??
When I had my son almost 3 years ago I had the car seat with me in the hospital when I was released.
Just wanted to know what the rules were??
Thanks for your help

Not much help, sorry lol !! As I have had homebirths since then xxxxxxxxxxx
my baby is 5 weeks old and the hospital didnt even see me leave the ward! i was discharged by the doc who just said 'yeah you can go home' and we left carrying the baby and no one even noticed us leave.
i hope not all hospitals are like that lol! i think the general rule is that you have to bring the car seat up to the ward so they can see that you have one. If your unsure you could maybe call the ward and ask them
