I have just been wondering about the feasability of having Yasin at his siblings birth. Yasin will be about 17 months old then. The idea just occured to me this morning and a big part of me thinks that its a crazy idea and I should shelve it straight away but another part of me thinks that it would be fantastic to have him as part of the experience. I was thinking of asking one of my friends to be his carer so that if things start getting a bit full on for him or I don't want him there she can take him away and also to help keep him busy so he doesn't get bored and take care of his food and naps.
Has anyone had a young sibling present at a birth? What is usually hospital policy?
