I hit the same problem daily as parents ask me about co-sleeping. I always tell the parents I work with that as an IBCLC RN working in a medical facility, I have to inform them that the AAP does not recommend co-sleeping at this time. I then go on and say that it is not uncommon for breastfeeding couplets to have a high rate of co-sleeping. The decision is always up to the parents so I also review the safety guidelines for co- sleeping and refer them to info like Dr. McKenna's. I feel in this manner I stay supportive of one of the medical bodies that provide guidance for patient care but also give families the information to make a educated decision that works for them. I do, when questioned, admit that all my babies slept with me and to date, even my 16 year old daughter will still snuggle up if she's had a bad dream....so its a bad thing my teen ager still seeks comfort from me? Don't think so :)... it sure makes up for all the radical hormone days otherwise!
