LOL I will forever lie to drs. My baby hated the crib so I only cosleep & now we ACTUALLY sleep 😅🫶🏼

I tell the doc we co sleep, she just reminds me to not have any pillows or blankets near babys face.

My pediatrician has never once asked about sleep other than if they were sleeping through the night or still getting a feeding

Mines in his own bed now, but when we coslept I told! They gave me the AAP recommendations and I thanked them and said I felt comfortable with the information and studies from NIH, UNICEF, and other reputable international orgs. Had no problem and it was never mentioned again. Later, my doctor asked *me* if I’d done any research on a different topic she was looking at for her own baby, and what I’d found😂❤️

I’ve never been asked my seconded baby my first I was only asked once . And we always said his own bed as he did mostly but he co slept with us as well .

I was always honest! Pediatrician would laugh and say “don’t complain when he’s 6 and still in your bed!” She was right and I never complained 😂 if you have a good ped they’ll be respectful to you as your child’s parent. Opinion is ok but belittling is not.

I lied and said that she was sleeping in the crib knowing damn well she was sleeping with me every night. My daughter is almost a year old and depends on the night, she either sleeps in her crib or in my bed. I wasn’t trying to hear all that from the doctors.

No 🫣😂 I just do what’s best for my family and avoid the judgement from doctors. Co sleeping is only not normalized in the US, but has been done for centuries in other cultures and countries. I Have co slept with 2 of 3 of my babies using the safe sleep 7 method. Normalize moms making the best decisions for their families without being told we are wrong for it.

No cause they’re going to tell you not too 🫶🏼

I lie to them about everything because they’re annoying. 1. My baby co sleeps but I tell them she’s in a bassinet. 2. I tell them I feed her every 2-3 hours but I’m not waking my daughter up in the middle of the night when she sleeps well. 3. I tell them I’m breastfeeding from tap but I’m pumping and putting it in a bottle for her. There’s more for sure but they are so judgmental and every child is different.
