What do you tell your child's pediatrician? I know my daughter's doc strongly encouraged not bed sharing, because of safety. Which I very much respect and worry about and try to be aware and keep it as safe as possible. I would just room share but she won't sleep and she's too young to sleep train (plus I want her to feel emotionally secure). They tell me the usual of how to calm babies but it doesn't work. Anyway her next appointment is tomorrow and we've been working on getting her used to the bassinet, but she's still not in it without crying (and then being taken out) for more than 20 mins, at best. And then she's in our bed. Any thoughts, thank you.

Nothing?? This is frankly none of their business.
Or You could say thank you so much for your guidance, we’ve looked a lot into what works for our family and have consulted safe cosleeping guidance and we have come to the conclusion that this solution works best for our family (obviously always do follow the cosleeping guidance)

They haven’t asked and I haven’t told them anything!

That’s so interesting because my pediatrician encourages cosleeping as long as your baby fights the bassinet. I was so exhausted during our first appointment and she said that SIDS happen mostly due to unsafe sleep practices like falling asleep on the couch or on the floor rather than safe cosleeping. She shared the safe sleep 7 with me so we talk honestly about it. We coslept right from the start and baby turns 4 months next week

I just tell them what they wanna hear.And then do what I feel like is best for you and your baby. My kids absolutely hated the crib. I co sleep with both of my kids from 2 months to toddlers. Like the other mama said making sure you follow the cosleeping guidelines
