How old is the child.  I do not see a problem with it as long as you feel the new wife is nurturing and caring toward your child.  I am sure you child is going through a lot of seperation anxiety right now and maybe sleeping with his makes him feel safe and secure.  Is your ex husband a good father?  Also, is your child use to sleeping with you when you are together.  If your ex is a good guy trust his judgment.
Hopefully he will respect your decisions as well.  Good Luck to you.

There is not too much you can do here other than ask your ex not to do it again. Is your child very young? Maybe he or she was scared and climbed into bed with them? Do you have any reason to suspect abuse?
If not, then I would calmly confront your ex and tell him it makes you feel uncomfortable when your child sleeps in the bed with him and his wife. Try not to say anything to your child. If you ex refuses, the only other recourse is to call your divorce lawyer and  get a court order forbidding  them from co-sleeping with your child during visitations. You would most likely need to take your child to a therapist and she would have to testify that is unhealthy for your child to be sleeping in their bed.

Good luck,
