40 years ago parents didn't stay with unwell babies?

Am I right in thinking that 40 years ago if a baby was taken to the big city hospital (from being born at the local town hospital i.e critically ill/likely to die) that the parents and definitely the dad did not go with them?

I don’t know about that, but I had my adenoids out about 50 years ago and spent a few days in hospital. I was in a children’s ward and my mum could just visit during visiting hours. I would have been about 4 or 5. Different times.
