I know there has been discussion from time to time about co-sleepers or 
sidecar arrangements for hospital beds.  Has anyone found a manufacturer 
who sells something like this in the U.S.?  Or is there any hospital in 
the U.S. that does anything to make co-sleeping safer on the postpartum 
unit?   Our meeting about "breastfeeding babies and rampant pacifier 
use" came back around to babies in the nursery at night.  Babies are 
sent to the nursery because they wake up every time mom puts them back 
in the crib, which she has been told to do, and she is getting no 
sleep.   If the babies could just be IN THE BED, everybody--including 
the nurses--would be so much happier.  Our entire unit will be rebuilt 
in the next couple years and all the beds will be replaced so here's our 
chance--but it doesn't seem like there's anything out there!  Please let 
me know if there is.
