When my daughter (6 months old) was hospitalised with an allergic reaction to penicillin I (her dad) stayed in hospital with her as she seemed to settle better with me than her mum when ill.
The midwives tried to convince my partner to stay as “they’re always better with mum” – even though we’d tried that and my daughter screamed and got worked up. We’d already told them, several times, that when ill she settled better with me.
The midwives then checked on me more than the neighbouring mums and acted as if I’d never held/been responsible for my own child before.
