My father in law was life flighted to a major hospital 2 hours away after a bad wreck a few weeks ago. We took our 10 month old daughter, but my parents sat with her in the lobby so she didn't have to be back around the rooms/germs/patients. We made sure we wiped off all the chairs and tables she was around with wipes just incase.
We took my son the first time at 3 months when my dad got sick... And again at 5 months when my dad was back in the hospital and we were up there quite a bit.. We also took him recently at 10 months.... I mean I think it's up to you, I didn't have much of a choice but really you can't "keep" a baby from getting sick
To me it would depend on why they are there. If its life threatening and possibly wouldn't see that person again yes. If its just something like a surgery recovery I'd wait and visit when that person is home. I took my daughter to see my grandmother when she was in bc I knew it was her last days and wanted my daughter to see her before she passed.
I bring my children if we are visiting someone. I just make sure hands are washed and touch as little as possible. Kids are not allowed in NICU, ICU (special circumstances) or anyone receiving radiation therapy.
There's lots of areas in our hospitals that actually don't allow babies to visit. They carry too many germs according to them. Lol. But if it were a life or death situation, I'd be very much fighting to bring her in there.
