The Swedish authority for social welfare announces that parents should not
co-sleep with children younger than 3 months of age - and they should have
a pacifier after the breastfeeding is "established" - which according to
Socialstyrelsen/national Swedish television occurs after 2-3 days.

I just can't agree with this. I have written a whole book on breastfeeding
(that I hope I will be able to get translated into English) and I have
really tried to follow official recommendations. but this - I just feel -
NO. But can I say that if I'm asked for a comment? Please help me!!
