I am a avid bedsharer with my now 2 3/4 year old daughter.  Sleep  issues 
were minimal after delivery because of it...later with frequent toddler  night 
nursing not such a rosey memory but still better imo!   In the  hospital I 
usually chat up a mom before or after latch and positioning help  giving some 
additional info.  Sibling adjustment, first night home tips,  what products I liked 
etc...usually with much humor added in.  At that time  I casually mention the 
cosleeping part, throw in the safety speech and let them  know it's ok to do, 
sleep habits arent formed for several months and "do  whatever you need to do 
to get some sleep" in the first few weeks.   Certainly not a recommendation, 
just letting mom's know it's ok to do short term  and doesn't mean they will 
be sleeping with their school age child!  (of  course...I hope they love it and 
it DOES turn into that...but that's just  me!)
