Some of us who are HUGE believers in skin-to-skin for all of our nursing couplets are trying to change this, but are coming up against a brick wall due to the legal aspects of allowing this.
I can't help you, but isn't it amazing that most hospitals will give a
baby formula (also against the AAP and WHO, among all the others...)
without even asking if it's OK, yet do not allow cosleeping at any time,
because they are following the AAP guidelines!  Talk about picking and
choosing what you allow and won't allow.  It's a sad, twisted world we
live in... :(
