I did it. I told my ped.

[katrina2017]

@j010203t I told them the first appointment. I’m not ashamed and I’m prepared to educate the pediatrician if they shame me.

 

[lorilu05]

@j010203t When I told mine, she just said "Well I'm sure you're doing it safely."

 

[lvbeliever]

@j010203t I told Mine and told her I followed sleep safe guidelines and she just nodded and said that’s fine (I’m in the US)

@j010203t My daughter is 10 weeks. Last ped visit he asked how she sleeps and I said she sleeps great! He then asked if she slept in a bedside bassinet or a crib and I just sat there with this face . He said “Noooo” and of course gave me a warning and all that. He’s a good doctor but I’m not gonna stop cosleeping because of his warning

 

[arschfickenhure]

@j010203t My doctor mentioned it casually during our one month checkup, and I really appreciated that it was said in the same breath as crib sleeping.

 

[theylivewesleep]

@j010203t I'm in Australia. I mentioned it because I was lookong for advice on how to help her transition to the cot (i don't mind bedsharing but would like to be able to have a bit of time to myself, she won't sleep without me). My doctor shrugged and said half the world does it.

@j010203t Outside US. Ours said: I will say what cience says but I couldn't do it and everyone is on my bed.

I like how she always says all the options and even her own experience. Every child is different, there's no right recipe.

 

[accchick2011]

@j010203t We are in the US and my pediatrician just shrugged and said whatever works for you! She is so chill, I love her

 

[jake19]

@j010203t That’s how you know you found the right pediatrician for you. Of course, you do want one that will correct you too where necessary for baby’s health/well-being, but support for your decisions is equally important too.

 

[recall]

@j010203t I told mine around 6 months and she was fine with it! She's from Germany though so I wonder if thar has something to do with it

 

[rapberrylatte]

@j010203t None their business

 

[kach]

@j010203t I told mine. She just quoted the AAP recommendation and moved on. We were not cosleeping by choice, so I didn't particularly care about people's opinions on it. We switched to a pack n play and then her crib as soon as we could, but it took months to transition her.

 

[briantheophilus]

@j010203t Same. I lied until 10 months and she responded “it happens mine do too” which was really comforting. When my oldest was an infant they made me feel awful, showing me a video of SIDS Its a shame, people should never have to lje to their doctors.

 

[ligerheart25]

@j010203t My 3.5 year old still sleeps with us.

 

[arolo]

@j010203t I told mine. She was mostly worried about mine rolling out of the bed. Once we put bedrails up on all sides of the bed she was completely fine with it.

 

[jetview]

@j010203t I got the whole “as you know, as pediatricians, we have to tell you that it isn’t advised to cosleep”

 

[matthewaworkerforthelord]

@j010203t I cosleep every now and then, I told someone and immediately got defensive. She said “Honey, we all done it” was a boomer as well

 

[rightdirection]

@j010203t I told mine straight away and she gave me a lecture but I didn't stop.

 

[rightdirection]

@j010203t Oh also on the night my youngest was born she wasn't having any of that hospital bassinet shit. After like the 4th time I slept 10 minutes and woke up because she was crying, I curled up around her and fell asleep and so did she for 2 hours and the nurse only said "I'm glad you and baby finally got some sleep."

 

[alexsanders]

@j010203t Once my LO was out of the snoo we started bedsharing too. Told my ped right away and she told me people have been doing it safely for centuries.
