I think it depends on where you would be staying too. I stayed 4 nights with DS1 to make sure we had bf worked out. I had my own lively quiet room and fab meals so I enjoyed my stay. With DS2 I stayed 3 nights to have some "us" time without DS1 getting jealous. Again my own room in a private hossy. If (when ) we have another I would stay again as I enjoy the recovery time and time for the bub and I to chill out together. I also love having a midwife or lac consultant to help me get bf established. However, if I was in a shared room at my local public hossy, I'd go home within 4 hours. Not restful, noisy, terrible food and the midwives are run off their feet so no real quality time for bf support etc.
