NUH & KKH after giving birth

Hello, If there are moms who delivered baby recently or during covid period at NUH or KKH, please advise whether the hospitals allow; - for husband to participate in labor & stay at delivery suite? - can we do skin to skin with baby and give first breast milk immediately after giving birth in case of natural birth? - if I stay at single ward, can I stay with baby for 24 hours, giving breastfeeding milk not powder milk, instead of letting nurses take care of baby? Due to Covid, i am not sure whether there are any changes in hospital policy.. Thank you in advance!!

Hi i gave birth 2weeks ago via csect at kkh, yes they will allow u to do skin to skin with baby once its out. No matter which ward u stayed in baby will be with you throughout your stay, they will only bring baby back to nursery for screening and will push them back to your bedside once done.
