True! And also for lighting Shabat and Yom Tov candles.
Yep. When my sons were born, Eeees was still in the hospital at the onset of Shabbos (they were born on Friday and Thursday). So, those weeks, I lit the candles in the house.
(My daughter was born on a Tuesday — so Eeees was home in time for Shabbos that time.)
